Slant Style Headstones

Slant Style Headstones Specialist & Customization in NJ

Slant style headstones are a unique and elegant way to honor the memory of your loved one. At Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments, we’ve been designing and crafting beautiful, customized slant headstones for families across New Jersey for over 80 years. We take great pride in combining expert craftsmanship, personalization, and care to create a lasting tribute that reflects your loved one’s life and legacy.

What is a Slant Style Headstone?

Slant headstones are memorial markers with a sloped front face, making inscriptions easy to read while maintaining a compact, stylish design. They are slightly raised above the ground, offering a middle ground between traditional upright headstones and flat markers.

The angled design allows for clear and elegant lettering, along with room for personal artwork, quotes, and other meaningful details.

Why Choose a Slant Headstone?

Slant headstones are popular because they’re versatile, affordable, and visually appealing. Their angled surface makes inscriptions and artwork stand out, ensuring they’re easy to read.

They are also incredibly durable, especially when made from high-quality granite or marble, so they’ll hold up to years of harsh weather. For families looking for a cost-effective alternative to upright markers, slant headstones offer a sleek, beautiful option that’s more budget-friendly without sacrificing quality or style.

Slant headstones work well for both single graves and companion plots, making them a great choice for individuals, couples, or family memorials.

Types of Slant Headstones

At Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments, we offer a range of slant headstone options to meet your needs:

Single Slant Headstones are perfect for honoring one individual. They offer plenty of space for inscriptions, symbols, and custom artwork.

Companion Slant Headstones are designed for two people, such as spouses or family members, and feature shared inscriptions while still allowing for personal touches on each side.

Slant Headstones with Bases add an extra layer of design. The granite base raises the headstone slightly higher, making it look even more prominent and polished.

Custom-Shaped Slant Headstones give you the option to design something unique. Whether it’s a heart shape, cross, or another special symbol, we’ll craft a headstone that reflects the life and personality of your loved one.

Customizing Your Slant Headstone

We believe every headstone should be as unique as the person it honors. That’s why we offer a wide range of customization options to make your memorial truly personal.

You can add meaningful inscriptions, like names, dates, quotes, or special messages. Beautiful, engraved artwork—such as flowers, religious symbols, or cultural designs—can add a personal touch. For a more detailed tribute, we can include etched portraits or scenic images that reflect the story of your loved one’s life.

Choose from a variety of granite colors, including black, gray, red, pink, and blue. Each stone can be finished with a polished, honed, or natural surface, giving you a look that feels just right. Decorative borders or patterns can also frame the design and add an extra layer of elegance.
