Upright Monuments
single and double
Upright headstones are the most common type of cemetery memorial used today. A single upright is usually used for a single plot and consists of 2 pieces. The top piece is much larger and is called a "die." The die is typically 24" tall x 8" thick x 20" wide but can be custom made to any size. The bottom piece is known as a "base" and is typically 6" tall x 12" thick x 32" wide. These are also referred to as single tombstones, single headstones, single memorials, single monuments, and single upright grave markers.
