What Minnesota Families Should Know

Buying a Headstone in Minnesota

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

Minnesota cemetery regulations are governed at the local level, with most public cemeteries managed by city or township cemetery boards. Most accept flat granite markers, though some cemeteries require a concrete foundation or border to be installed before the marker is set.

Minnesota has one of the harshest winter climates in the country, with temperatures regularly dropping below zero and heavy snowfall lasting months. Himalayan granite's extreme density and low porosity make it resistant to the severe freeze-thaw cycles that damage lesser stones.

Many Minnesota families have Scandinavian and German heritage with strong traditions around memorial care and cemetery visits. The state has a high number of well-maintained small-town cemeteries where flat markers are common and widely accepted.

Its very low porosity means it absorbs almost no moisture, preventing the freeze-thaw cracking that is common with softer stones when temperatures swing from well below zero to above freezing.
