What Louisiana Families Should Know
Buying a Headstone in Louisiana
Local monument dealers in Louisiana typically charge $2,000 or more for a flat granite headstone.
SilkStone offers 28x16x3in flat granite markers starting at $599 with free custom engraving, shipped to any Louisiana address via insured UPS Ground.
Louisiana has a unique memorial culture, particularly in New Orleans where above-ground tombs are common due to the high water table. However, flat granite markers are widely accepted in cemeteries across the rest of the state, especially in northern and central Louisiana.
Louisiana's subtropical climate brings heavy rainfall, high humidity, and occasional hurricanes. Himalayan granite's density and low porosity make it highly resistant to moisture damage, mold, and staining that can affect softer stones in this environment.
Louisiana does not charge state sales tax on items sold for burial purposes, including grave markers and monuments. This can make purchasing a headstone more affordable compared to neighboring states that tax memorial products.

Himalayan granite is one of the densest natural stones available, absorbing very little moisture even in Louisiana's high-humidity, heavy-rainfall environment. The mirror polish naturally repels water and resists the moss, mold, and staining that are common on softer stones in the Gulf South.
