About Slant Headstones
Stone Discover is a factory-direct wholesale granite slant headstone manufacturer and supplier based in Telangana, India, serving monument dealers, funeral homes, cemetery contractors, and wholesale distributors across the United States. We handle full container-load shipping, US import documentation, and customs-ready packing on every order; so you can source slant headstones in bulk without a middleman margin sitting between our factory and your price list.
A slant headstone is a low-profile granite memorial marker with a polished front face cut at a forward angle, typically set on a matching granite or concrete foundation. Unlike flat markers that sit flush with the ground, slant headstones rise 14 to 20 inches above the base and angle toward the visitor, making inscriptions naturally readable from a standing position without bending down. Unlike full upright headstones, slant markers maintain a compact footprint and lower cost, fitting the middle ground in most US cemetery permit categories.
Slant Headstones for Monument Dealers & Cemetery Retailers
If you're a US monument dealer or cemetery retailer sourcing slant headstones in bulk, here's what matters to your buying decision, up front:
- Factory-direct pricing: no distributor markup between our quarry/fabrication and your invoice
- MOQ of 10 pieces per design, with better per-piece pricing at container-load volumes (50+ pieces)
- 8–10 week lead time from order confirmation to US port arrival
- Full US customs documentation included with every shipment
- Mixed-container flexibility: combine slant headstones with flat markers, bevel markers, uprights, and angel headstones in a single shipment
As a bulk slant headstone supplier, we work with dealers at every stage; from a first sample order to standing annual supply agreements.
Single Slant Headstones vs Double Slant Headstones
Single slant headstones memorialize one individual. They are produced in standard widths from 20 to 30 inches and installed on a matching single-width granite base. They are the most commonly ordered slant headstone format and suit the majority of standard individual cemetery lot sizes across the United States.
Double slant headstones, also called companion slant headstones, memorialize two people, typically a couple or closely related family members buried side by side. They are produced in wider companion dimensions and carry two inscription areas on the same angled face. Stone Discover manufactures double slant headstones in grey, red, and tan brown granite as standard catalog items, with all other granite colors available in companion sizing on request.
Slant Headstone Designs We Manufacture
Stone Discover produces three slant headstone designs as standard catalog items, plus fully custom designs from buyer-supplied drawings.
Western Slant (also called Standard Slant or Rock-Pitched Slant): The highest-volume slant headstone design in the US wholesale market. The front face is polished at a forward angle. The sides, back, and top are rock-pitched, meaning the stone is left in its natural quarry-split state. Rock-pitched sides reduce production cost and weight while giving the stone a traditional, natural aesthetic. The sawn bottom creates a high-friction surface for the installation compound to bond with the foundation.
Serpentine Top Slant (also called Book Slant or Scroll Slant): The top edge of the stone curves in a serpentine profile rather than a flat horizontal cut, which adds a decorative architectural quality to the standard slant profile. Available in all granite colors on request.
All-Polished Slant: All exterior faces, including the back, are polished rather than rock-pitched. This is specified when the back face will carry a secondary inscription, an epitaph, or decorative artwork. It is the more expensive production option and suits dealers serving premium market segments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard US single slant headstone sizes are 20x10x16 inches, 24x10x16 inches, and 30x10x16 inches, each set on a matching granite base that is typically 6 inches high and wider than the slant itself. Companion double slant headstones are wider, ranging from 36 to 52 inches in width. All sizes refer to the slant tablet dimensions; the base is specified separately.
Wholesale slant headstone prices from a factory-direct India supplier typically range from $120 to $180 per piece for standard black or grey single slants in the most common 24x10x16-inch size, depending on order quantity. Companion double slants range from $180 to $320 per piece. Premium granite colors such as Blue Pearl or Himalayan Blue carry a higher input cost. Retail prices in the US are typically $800 to $2,500 for single slants and $1,500 to $4,000 for companion doubles. Contact Stone Discover for a specific wholesale quote.
A slant headstone has a tall angled face that rises 14 to 22 inches above the base and presents the inscription at an angle toward the visitor. A bevel marker is much lower, typically rising only 2 to 4 inches above the ground with a gently sloped top. Both share the angled face concept, but a slant headstone is significantly taller and has a more substantial visual presence. See our Bevel Marker range for a direct comparison.
A flat marker sits flush or near-flush with the ground, with the inscription on a horizontal face read from directly above. A slant headstone rises 14 to 22 inches above the ground on a base, with the inscription on an angled face read from a standing position. Slant headstones are permitted in most US cemetery sections that also permit flat markers, but some flush-only sections require flat markers exclusively. See our Flat Marker range for alternatives.
A double slant headstone, also called a companion slant headstone, is a wider version of the standard slant format designed to memorialize two people, typically buried side by side. It carries two inscription areas on the same angled polished face and is installed on a wider companion base. Stone Discover produces double slant headstones in grey, red, and tan brown granite as standard catalog items, with other colors available on request.
The slant face is cut at an angle that positions the inscription face forward and upward toward a standing visitor. Stone Discover produces slants with a 2 to 2.5-inch offset from the top front edge to the bottom front edge of the slant face, consistent with the standard US Western Slant specification. The exact angle depends on the profile height of the specific size; taller slants have a more gradual face angle than shorter ones at the same offset.
Slant headstones can be installed directly on a concrete foundation or on a matching granite base. Most US monument dealers supply the slant and granite base as a matched set. A granite base adds height, provides trim guard clearance at the bottom of the stone, and gives the memorial a more finished appearance than direct concrete installation. Stone Discover supplies slant headstones with matching bases as a standard paired product.
Standard rock-pitched slants have a natural rough back face that is not suitable for engraving. An all-polished slant, which has all faces polished including the back, is required for back engraving. Stone Discover produces all-polished slants on request; specify at the order stage if you need a polished back for a second inscription, epitaph, or decorative element.
Yes. Stone Discover can core-drill one or two vase holes into the granite base or the side sections of the slant for standard flower vase attachments. Specify the number and placement of vase holes at the order stage.
Our standard minimum order quantity is 10 pieces per design for slant headstones. Container-load orders of 50 or more pieces across sizes and colors receive the most competitive per-piece pricing. Production and shipping lead time is typically 8 to 10 weeks from order confirmation to US port arrival, depending on specification and current production scheduling. Contact our export team to confirm lead time for your specific requirements.
