About single uprights memorials
What is a single upright headstone?
AA single upright headstone, also known as an individual headstone or single gravestone, is a vertical granite memorial designed to honor one person. Unlike flat markers, upright headstones stand above the ground on a granite base, offering greater visibility and more space for names, dates, inscriptions, and personalized artwork.
As the most traditional memorial style, single upright headstones remain a popular choice for families because they combine timeless beauty, exceptional durability, and endless customization options. Whether you prefer a classic polished monument or a more personalized design, every memorial can be tailored to reflect your loved one's life.
At Abby Rose, we design and install custom single upright headstones throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our experienced team will help you choose the right granite, shape, engraving, and design while ensuring your memorial meets all cemetery requirements.

Premium materials & expert craftsmanship
A memorial should remain beautiful for generations. That's why every single upright headstone we create is crafted using premium granite selected for its exceptional strength, durability, and natural beauty.
Granite is the preferred material for memorials because it withstands decades of exposure to rain, snow, sunlight, and changing weather conditions without losing its appearance or structural integrity.
Our monuments feature:
Premium quality granite
Precision sandblasted lettering
Hand-finished craftsmanship
Deep engraved artwork
Long-lasting polished finishes
Weather-resistant construction
Families can choose from several granite colors, including traditional gray, polished black, pink, red, and specialty granite options depending on availability and cemetery requirements.
Every memorial is carefully inspected throughout production to ensure it meets our quality standards before installation.
