Slant Headstones
Individual slant headstones provide a balanced look between upright monuments and lower-profile markers. Their angled face allows for clear engraving and a timeless design that feels both classic and approachable.
For families who want something between a full upright and a flat marker, individual slants can be a comfortable middle ground. The slanted face makes names and dates easy to read, while the lower height keeps the memorial more understated.
You can compare individual slants with other options on our Monument Styles page as you think through what feels right.

Common questions about individual slant headstones
What is an individual slant headstone?
An individual slant headstone is a monument with a sloped face designed to honor one person. It sits lower than an upright but higher than a flat marker, with lettering on the angled front.
Is a slant headstone a good middle-ground option?
Many families see slants as a middle-ground choice. They offer more presence and engraving space than flat markers, while staying lower and more understated than full uprights.
Can slants be personalized?
Yes. Slants can be personalized with artwork, symbols, borders, and inscriptions, as long as the design fits the available space and follows cemetery rules.
