Double Headstones & Companion Headstones
Custom double upright memorials designed to honor two lives — married couples, family members, or any two people sharing a lasting tribute.
About double uprights memorials
What is a double upright headstone?
A double headstone, also called a companion headstone, double gravestone, or couple headstone, is a single memorial designed to honor two people on one balanced granite monument, rather than two separate markers. It's most commonly chosen for husband and wife headstones, but it's just as fitting for two family members, siblings, or lifelong companions who are being laid to rest together.
At Abby Rose, our double headstones start at $4,000 and are fully customized — from the granite color to the layout, engraving, and optional vase. Whether you're designing headstones for husband and wife, for parents, or for any two people who shared a life, our team crafts each companion headstone to reflect their story with dignity and lasting craftsmanship.

Double headstone ideas for couples
Every companion headstone we design is different, because every relationship tells a different story — whether it's a marriage, a lifelong friendship, or a family bond. Popular headstone designs for couples include:
Double heart or "two hearts becoming one" motifs for a romantic, unified look
Symmetrical layouts with matching photos, borders, and font styles for each spouse
Fully custom, asymmetrical designs that reflect each person's individual personality
Double headstones for husband and wife with vase, allowing space for fresh or artificial flowers at every visit
Shared engraved elements — a wedding date, a shared quote, religious symbols, or artwork that connects both sides
Individual portraits or emblems etched into granite for each spouse
You can choose from a range of granite colors and finishes to create unique husband and wife headstones — or companion memorials for any two loved ones. We'll walk you through every option during your design consultation.
On inscriptions: choosing the right words matters as much as the design. For headstone inscriptions for husband and wife, common choices include each person's name and dates engraved side by side, a shared line such as "Together Forever" or "Beloved Husband and Wife," a wedding date, or a shared verse or quote. Our engravers help you word it so it fits naturally with the layout.
Cemetery compliance standards
Double headstones for graves require careful planning, since cemeteries have specific rules for size, foundation, and plot placement for companion memorials. We coordinate directly with cemeteries to ensure all requirements are met.
