What Florida Families Should Know
Buying a Headstone in Florida
Florida families face a unique combination of challenges when buying a headstone: high dealer prices, strict cemetery regulations, and a climate that tests every material you put in the ground. Local monument dealers in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville typically charge $2,000 or more for a flat granite marker, with engraving costs on top of that.
SilkStone offers 28x16x3in flat granite markers starting at $899 with free custom engraving. We ship to every Florida address via insured UPS Ground.
Many Florida cemeteries require flat markers in newer sections. This is partly practical (flat markers are less vulnerable to damage from tropical storms and hurricanes) and partly for maintenance (flat markers allow for efficient mowing). Our 28x16x3in flat granite marker is one of the most widely accepted sizes across Florida cemeteries. Himalayan granite also holds up exceptionally well in Florida heat and humidity because of its high density and low moisture absorption.
Florida cemeteries often require flat markers in newer sections due to the prevalence of hurricane-force winds. Flat markers are less susceptible to storm damage than upright monuments.
Florida has a subtropical climate with high humidity and frequent rain. Himalayan granite holds up well in these conditions because of its density and resistance to moisture absorption.
Many Florida cemeteries are managed by homeowners associations or municipal districts, each with their own marker specifications. Requirements can vary even between sections of the same cemetery.

Flat markers sit level with the ground, which makes them less vulnerable to damage from tropical storms and hurricanes. Many newer Florida cemetery sections mandate flat markers for this reason, and for easier grounds maintenance. Our 28x16x3in flat granite markers are one of the most widely accepted sizes.
