Black Granite Single Upright Headstone

A black granite single upright in standard 24-inch tablet sizing is the baseline product most US monument dealers stock first, and for that reason it is also where pricing competition between manufacturers is sharpest. Stone Discover's advantage  is vertical control: we quarry rough black granite block, and fabricated and polished by our own team at our facility, so there's no distributor mark-up added to it between fabrication and into your warehouse, which is the main lever we use to stay competitive on this size and color against both Indian and Chinese-fabricated alternatives sold into the same US market.

As the volume on this product is high, we ensure that all production is scheduled in a way which will reduce turnaround time and block-to-block colour match for any dealer with a repeated order and a long term relationship versus a one-off purchase.

This size is provided blank for engraving locally in the majority of orders we complete but when the dealer wants to carry ready-to-install stock, various pre-engraved options are available.

The Meaning Behind Black Granite

Black granite has been the standard memorial stone colour in the United States since the mid-20th century, partly because of its non-reflective, dark surface that retains the inscription in most lighting conditions, and partly because of its traditional association with formal mourning and remembrance. If families decide to select one memorial, it is still the most secure and universally accepted alternative, even in the face of different faiths and regulations of various cemeteries. Stone Discover manufactures wholesale upright granite headstones in more than 30 premium granite colors, including the most requested varieties in the North American monument market.
