Anatomy of an Upright Headstone (Tablet + Base + Foundation)
An upright headstone is typically composed of three essential components: the tablet, the upright section that displays the inscription and memorial details; the base, which supports and elevates the tablet while helping protect it from maintenance equipment; and the foundation, an underground concrete or granite footing that provides long-term stability and helps keep the monument level for decades.

Stone Discover supplies the tablet and base as a precision-matched set, crafted from your selected granite color and finish. Foundation slabs can be provided upon request or sourced locally by your installer, in accordance with standard cemetery installation practices throughout the United States.

Blank or Pre-Engraved Upright Headstones
The majority of wholesale upright headstone orders are supplied as blank monuments, allowing memorial dealers, monument retailers, and local engraving companies to customize each memorial according to individual family requirements. Blank monuments provide greater inventory flexibility because a single stock design can be personalized with different inscriptions, artwork, emblems, and lettering styles when an order is received.
All blank upright headstones are delivered fully finished, polished, and ready for engraving. This option is preferred by many North American dealers because it reduces inventory risk and allows for faster response times when serving families.
For buyers who prefer ready-to-sell inventory, Stone Discover also offers professional sandblast engraving and laser etching services. Names, dates, religious symbols, portraits, floral artwork, military emblems, and custom designs can be added before shipment. Pre-engraved monuments can help streamline installation and reduce local production requirements.
Whether you require blank monuments or fully engraved memorials, our team can recommend the most cost-effective solution based on your business model, target market, and order volume. Simply specify your engraving preference when requesting a quotation.
Container Loading and Shipment Planning for Wholesale Orders
Efficient container planning is one of the most important factors in controlling import costs and maximizing profitability. Stone Discover works closely with monument dealers, cemetery suppliers, and wholesale distributors to optimize every shipment and make the most effective use of container space.
A standard 40-foot shipping container can typically accommodate approximately 180–220 single upright headstones with matching bases, depending on monument thickness, granite type, packaging specifications, and size combinations. Companion memorials generally require additional space, resulting in lower overall container quantities.
Many customers choose to combine multiple sizes, granite colors, and monument styles within the same container. This approach allows dealers to maintain a balanced inventory while reducing shipping costs per unit. Our logistics team provides detailed loading plans, packing lists, and shipment recommendations to help buyers accurately forecast inventory requirements and landed costs.
With decades of export experience, we ensure that monuments are professionally packaged in reinforced wooden crates and loaded securely to minimize transit risk during international transportation.
MOQ, Volume Pricing, Lead Times, and Factory-Direct Advantages
Stone Discover offers flexible wholesale purchasing options designed specifically for monument dealers, cemetery suppliers, and memorial retailers. Our standard minimum order quantity begins at 10 pieces per design and size, making it easier for businesses to test new products and expand their inventory without committing to excessive stock levels.
Volume discounts are available for larger orders, mixed-container shipments, and full container loads. As order quantities increase, customers benefit from lower per-unit manufacturing and shipping costs, helping improve margins and competitiveness within local markets.
Standard production lead times typically range from 8–10 weeks from order confirmation to shipment departure. For select monument sizes and granite colors, expedited production options may be available when project schedules require faster delivery.
Unlike distributors and resellers, Stone Discover is a direct manufacturer with ISO 9001-certified production facilities and more than four decades of industry experience. By sourcing directly from the factory, customers gain access to competitive wholesale pricing, extensive customization capabilities, consistent quality control, and a wider selection of granite colors, finishes, shapes, and memorial styles. This direct manufacturing model often provides significant cost advantages while ensuring complete control over product specifications and production standards.
