Bevel granite headstones are more than just stone markers — they are deeply personal tributes that serve as permanent reminders of lives well-lived. In a world that moves quickly, these markers offer something enduring: a place where memories are grounded, and stories live on in stone. Whether you're planning ahead or commemorating someone you’ve recently lost, choosing the right headstone matters. At The Eternal Monuments, we believe every person deserves a legacy carved with care, dignity, and lasting beauty.

💠 What Are Bevel Granite Headstones?

A bevel headstone, sometimes referred to as a “pillow marker,” features a sloped face — slightly raised in the back and tapering gently toward the front. This design creates a subtle yet elegant appearance that sets it apart from flat markers, without the height of an upright monument. It’s a perfect balance between form and function.

Crafted from premium-grade granite, bevel markers are designed to withstand decades of weather exposure while preserving the names, dates, inscriptions, and symbols that matter most to your family.

🏛 Why Choose Bevel Granite Headstones?

At The Eternal Monuments, we’ve seen families choose bevel granite headstones for several important reasons:

✔ Elegance in Simplicity

The beveled surface provides just enough elevation to draw the eye without overpowering the surrounding landscape. It creates a timeless look that blends traditional and modern aesthetics.

✔ Durability

Granite is one of the most durable materials on Earth, resisting erosion, weather damage, and discoloration. These markers are built to last for generations — a testament in stone.

✔ Personalization

From custom fonts and engraved epitaphs to religious symbols, military service emblems, or even engraved portraits, bevel markers allow for a high degree of personalization. We also offer full design consultations at The Eternal Monuments to ensure the final product captures the essence of your loved one’s life.

✔ Versatility

Bevel headstones can be used in both single and companion grave layouts. They’re accepted in most cemeteries and can be adapted for lawn-level, pedestal, or base-mounted installations.
