Wholesale Granite Slant Markers

Granite slant markers are angled grave markers that slope backward from a low front edge to a taller back edge, creating a naturally angled face that presents lettering and artwork at an ideal reading angle. They occupy a middle ground between flat markers and fully upright headstones — offering more visual presence than a flush marker while remaining lower profile and often more affordable than a full upright. Monument Planet supplies slant markers wholesale to memorial dealers, funeral homes, and cemetery operators across the Northeast.

Slant markers are well-accepted by most cemetery types, including those that permit limited-height markers but not full uprights. The sloped face design is highly effective for both sandblasted and laser-engraved lettering — the natural angle catches light and directs visibility toward visitors approaching from the foot end. Companion slant markers (sized wider to memorialize two individuals) are a popular variation and can be ordered as a single piece or as a matched pair.

Standard slant marker dimensions vary by region and cemetery specification, but common sizes range from 16”×8” (front height) with a 12” back height, up through larger pieces appropriate for double or companion configurations. Slant markers are typically set on a concrete foundation prepared by cemetery staff. The slope face and top bevel are fully polished; the back and sides are usually rough-sawn unless a full-polish upgrade is requested.
