Bahama Blue Granite Single Upright Headstone

The single upright format remains the highest-turnover headstone size for most US monument dealers, and Bahama Blue gives those dealers a color option outside the standard black, grey, and red lineup most cemeteries already have plenty of. The stone's blue grey base color with natural banding showcases beautifully in online catalogs and showroom displays, as several of our dealer partners have stated it is a different look from the line of black granite around it that attracts families to buy.

Each individual upright tablet comes with its matching base cut from the same granite run and has been polished on the face and edges for an even texture that is suitable for sand blasting or laser engraving. Denser than some of the softer imported stones that are on the market, Bahama Blue is easier to engrave in detail and better to engrave in the portrait style, and will hold that detail outdoors for decades.

We ship this size in bulk, generally as part of a mixed pallet or container alongside other granite colors and the matching double upright version, which keeps freight costs proportional for dealers who want a small initial test order before committing to a larger run.

The Meaning Behind Bahama Blue

For a single memorial, blue granite is frequently selected by families wanting to move away from the heaviness of solid black, choosing instead a stone that reads as calm and reflective rather than somber. The wave patterning in Bahama Blue has been likened by engravers to water or sky, which have long been symbols of peace and remembrance in many faith traditions.
