Companion Slant Headstones
Companion slant headstones offer a softer, lower-profile look than full uprights while still providing meaningful space for two names and personalized engraving. They are a timeless option for families who want something traditional without the height of an upright monument.
Companion slants are often chosen by couples and families who prefer a lower, more subtle profile. The slanted face makes the lettering easy to read from the front, while the overall height stays below a full upright.
You can compare companion slants with other options on our Monument Styles page to see which style feels right for your family.

Common questions about companion slant headstones
What is a companion slant headstone?
A companion slant headstone is a lower-profile monument with a sloped face, designed to honor two people together. It typically includes a shared family name and individual names and dates on the front.
How is a slant different from an upright?
A slant sits lower to the ground and has an angled face, while an upright stands taller with a vertical face. Both can be personalized, but slants often feel a bit softer and more understated.
Can a companion slant include custom artwork?
Yes. Companion slants can be customized with carved artwork, symbols, borders, and inscriptions, as long as the design fits within the available space and cemetery guidelines.
