We’re part of the Devinarayan Group, in the granite trade since 1982, and we own and operate our own quarries — the same source, factory, and production line that supplies upright headstones, flat markers, kerb sets, and full memorial product ranges to dealers worldwide.

Direct factory pricing, full export documentation, and consistent batch-matching across multi-container ongoing programmes.
Granite Slant Headstone Types We Export
We produce slant headstones in all standard configurations used across the global memorial trade — single and double widths, Western and Book profiles, with or without matching bases.
Single Slant Headstones
For memorialising one person. Slanted front face, vertical back. Installs with or without a matching granite base, depending on cemetery regulations and dealer preference. The slanted front provides the primary inscription area, with optional secondary engraving on the slant wings.
Double Slant Headstones (Companion Slants)
A wider configuration designed for two people — couples, family members, or close relations. Same slant construction principles in companion width, manufactured to your specified dimensions with shared inscription space across the slanted face.
Western Slant Headstones
The highest-volume slant configuration globally. Clean slanted front face, simple straight back, no decorative nosing or stepped detail. The default specification for most US, Canadian, and Australian memorial markets, and the most cost-effective option for dealer programmes.
Book Slant Headstones (Nosing Style)
Includes a nosing or step at the front bottom edge — adds physical protection and creates a more sculpted, decorative profile. Common in regional markets that prefer a more traditional or ornamental slant style, and often specified for premium memorial work.

Our full 25+ Indian granite catalogue is available for slant headstone manufacturing. Below are the colours grouped by family, with the most-shipped memorial colours highlighted across each group.

Black Galaxy
Star-flecked black with golden specks across the surface. Used for premium and feature monument programmes, particularly in luxury memorial work.

Premium Black
Reliable workhorse black, strong for high-volume dealer programmes where consistency across deliveries matters more than dramatic character.
Star Galaxy

Finishes and Edge Profiles for Granite Slant Headstones
Standard: Polished Face with Rock-Pitched Sides
The industry default for slant headstones supplied to US, Canadian, and Australian memorial markets. The front face is finely polished for inscription clarity and visual prominence, while sides and back retain a natural rock-pitched (rough-chiseled) texture. Cost-effective, traditional, and the most-ordered specification in the global memorial trade.
All-Polished Specification
Front, back, sides, and top all polished to high gloss. A premium specification, more common in Germany, Western European, and select luxury memorial markets where full-polish slants are the regional preference. Higher visual impact, but also higher cost than the standard rock-pitched combination.
Edge Profiles for Slant Front Face
- Eased edge — clean, modern, the standard for most US and Canadian dealer programmes
- Beveled edge — 45° chamfer, contemporary look
- Bullnose edge — softened rounded edge, common for traditional designs
- Ogee edge — classic decorative S-curve for premium memorial work
- Cove edge — concave decorative profile
- Dupont edge — sculptural premium profile for high-end specifications
Engraving & Inscription Options
- Sandblasted lettering — the durability standard for outdoor memorial inscriptions
- CNC-engraved text and decorative elements — precision machine-cut inscriptions, portraits, and decorative motifs
- Hand-engraved inscriptions — for premium custom work and ornate detailing
- Laser-etched portraits — photo-realistic etchings on polished black granite
- Religious symbols, crosses, and decorative artwork — manufactured to your supplied artwork or shop drawings
Cemetery Regulations for Granite Slant Headstone Installation
Slant headstones are typically installed in lawn-style cemeteries that don’t permit upright monuments. Different cemetery authorities and provincial regulators have different rules — height limits, base requirements, vase hole positioning, finish exposure, and even specific dimensional constraints can vary cemetery-by-cemetery and region-by-region.
We manufacture slant headstones to your local cemetery regulations and dealer specifications. Send your compliance requirements at the order stage — including any cemetery-specific size limits, base requirements, or finish specifications — and we’ll produce to exact compliance. For dealers operating across multiple cemeteries with different rules, we run separate production batches per regulation set.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slant Headstones
What's the standard pitch or slant angle for a granite slant headstone?
Standard slant headstones have a 2″ to 2.5″ offset from top to bottom. This is the industry-standard pitch for optimal inscription viewing — steeper angles compromise readability and create awkward visual proportions, while shallower angles end up reading as flat markers rather than slants. Most US, Canadian, and European memorial markets specify within this 2″–2.5″ range.
Single Slant or Double Slant — which should I order?
Single slants memorialise one person and are typically 20″–24″ wide. Double slants (also called companion slants) are wider — usually 30″–48″ — and designed for two people, typically couples or close family members. Both share the same construction principles, just in different widths. Order based on your customer’s memorial requirements.
Should I order Polished Face with Rock-Pitched, or All-Polished?
Polished Face with Rock-Pitched sides and back is the industry default for US, Canadian, and Australian memorial markets — keeps cost down while delivering the premium polished inscription face. All-Polished is more common in German and Western European markets where full-polish slants are the regional preference. Order based on your retail market’s expectations and dealer specifications.
Can a granite slant headstone sit directly on concrete, or does it need a granite base?
Both configurations work. Slants can be installed directly on a concrete foundation using standard memorial setting compound, or set on a matching 6″ granite base for added height and protection from cemetery trimmers and groundwater. The choice usually depends on local cemetery regulations and dealer installation preferences — we manufacture for both setups.
Can you add vase holes for flower attachment?
Yes. We core-drill 1 or 2 vase holes into either the granite base or the slant wing, sized to your specified vase model. Single or paired vase configurations available — specify the vase model (or supply dimensions) at the order stage so we drill to the correct diameter and depth.
What edge profiles do you offer on the slant front face?
Eased, beveled, bullnose, ogee, cove, and dupont edges are all available on the slant front face. Eased is standard for most US and Canadian dealer programmes; ogee and dupont are common for premium specifications. Custom edge drawings welcome.
Do you handle engraving and lettering on slant headstones?
Yes. Sandblasted lettering, CNC-engraved text and decorative elements, hand-engraved inscriptions, laser-etched portraits, and religious symbols are all part of our standard memorial production. Send artwork or shop drawings at the order stage and we’ll fabricate to specification.
Do you ship slant headstones to my country?
We currently ship to 20+ countries with active memorial dealer relationships in Germany, the UK, Ireland, Canada, the United States, and Australia. If we haven’t shipped to your country before, we can usually still quote — most international ports are workable.
How are slant headstones packaged for international shipping?
Individual reinforced wooden crates with corner and edge protection. Fumigated, ISPM-15 compliant for international transit. Multiple slants per crate for dealer programme deliveries. Full export documentation included — commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, and phytosanitary certificate.
