Bevel Headstone: A Timeless Tribute by The Eternal Monuments
When it comes to honoring a loved one’s memory, the design of their final resting place plays a significant role in how their story is remembered. Among the many styles available, the bevel headstone has remained a popular and respectful choice for families across generations. At The Eternal Monuments, we take pride in creating bevel headstones that blend tradition, elegance, and durability—ensuring your tribute lasts for lifetimes.
? What Is a Bevel Headstone?
A bevel headstone—sometimes called a beveled marker or pillow marker—is a type of grave marker that sits flat on the ground but with a slight slant. The back edge of the stone is higher than the front, allowing for better visibility and readability of inscriptions when standing or approaching the grave.
This subtle slant distinguishes bevel markers from flat markers and gives them a slightly elevated, more prominent appearance without being as tall or upright as larger monuments.
? Why Families Choose Bevel Headstones
Bevel headstones offer a beautiful balance between modesty and visibility. They are especially appreciated for:
✅ Classic Appearance: Their low profile suits a variety of cemetery landscapes and layouts.
✅ Affordable Elegance: Less costly than upright monuments but more prominent than flat markers.
✅ Ease of Maintenance: Their slanted surface helps shed water and debris, reducing long-term wear.
✅ Personalization Options: Bevels can include custom inscriptions, images, borders, and symbols.
At The Eternal Monuments, we work closely with each family to ensure the design reflects not just the person’s name and dates—but who they truly were.
