Custom Bevel Granite Headstones & Raised Grave Marker Gallery

Bevel markers, often referred to as pillow headstones, offer a slight vertical rise that sets them apart from flat markers. With a gently sloping face that sits higher at the back than the front, these raised grave markers stay cleaner and are much easier to read from a distance. Our gallery features a variety of premium granite colors and custom edge finishes. Whether you are looking for a simple beveled gravestone or a highly personalized tombstone, our team ensures your memorial is crafted with precision and care to honor your loved one's legacy.

Common Questions About Bevel Headstones & Pillow Markers

A slant headstone is much taller (usually 12–16 inches) and has a steep, sharp angle. A bevel marker (often called a pillow marker) is lower to the ground, usually sitting 6 to 8 inches high, with a very subtle, gentle slope. Bevels provide a "raised" look that is more prominent than a flat marker but more understated than a slant.

Yes. One of the main reasons families choose a bevel gravestone over a flat marker is that the slight angle allows rainwater to wash away dirt and debris naturally. This keeps the engraving clearer and prevents the "ponding" of water that can happen on flush-to-the-ground grass markers.

While most bevel markers are set directly onto a concrete foundation, you can certainly add a matching granite base. This "Double-Process" increases the height and presence of the tombstone, giving it an appearance similar to a small upright monument while remaining very cost-effective.

Usually, no. If a cemetery section is strictly "flush-to-the-ground," they will not allow a raised bevel marker. However, many cemeteries in Dallas-Fort Worth have specific sections where bevels and slants are encouraged. We always verify the regulations for your specific plot before we begin production.

Absolutely. Because bevels are made from the same high-quality granite as our larger monuments, they can be customized with laser-etched portraits, custom emblems, and deep-cut lettering. The slight angle of the "pillow" face actually helps catch the light, making the designs easier to see than on a flat stone.
