What Massachusetts Families Should Know

Buying a Headstone in Massachusetts

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

Massachusetts has some of the oldest cemeteries in the United States, many dating to the 1600s. Modern sections of these historic cemeteries typically accept flat granite markers, though each cemetery has its own specific rules about dimensions and placement.

Massachusetts winters bring heavy snow, ice, and prolonged freezing temperatures. Himalayan granite's low porosity prevents water infiltration, making it highly resistant to the freeze-thaw cracking that damages softer stones in New England.

Monument dealers in the Boston metro area charge some of the highest prices in New England, often $2,500 or more for a comparable flat granite marker. Many Massachusetts families save significantly by ordering directly from online vendors like SilkStone.

Himalayan granite is one of the best choices for New England winters. Its very low porosity prevents the moisture absorption that leads to cracking during freeze-thaw cycles. Our markers withstand heavy snow, road salt exposure, and the temperature extremes common across Massachusetts.
