What Maine Families Should Know

Buying a Headstone in Maine

Local monument dealers in Maine 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 Maine address via insured UPS Ground.

Maine has many small-town and rural cemeteries managed by local cemetery associations or municipal boards. Most accept flat granite markers, though some historic cemeteries have specific guidelines about marker style and placement.

Maine's harsh winters, with heavy snowfall and prolonged freeze-thaw cycles, make stone density critical for headstone longevity. Himalayan granite's low porosity prevents water from seeping in and causing cracks as temperatures drop well below freezing.

Maine has a long tradition of granite quarrying, particularly around the Mount Desert Island and Hallowell areas. Families in Maine tend to appreciate high-quality stone and understand the difference between dense granite and softer, more porous alternatives.

Himalayan granite is ideal for Maine's climate. Its very low porosity means it absorbs almost no water, which prevents the cracking and spalling that freeze-thaw cycles cause in softer stones. Our markers are built to withstand heavy snow, ice, and the extreme cold common in northern New England.
