What South Dakota Families Should Know

Buying a Headstone in South Dakota

Local monument dealers in South Dakota 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 South Dakota address via insured UPS Ground.

South Dakota has extremely harsh winters with temperatures regularly dropping below zero and heavy snowfall across the western half of the state. Low-porosity Himalayan granite resists cracking during freeze-thaw cycles far better than softer memorial stones.

Many South Dakota cemeteries, especially in smaller towns and rural areas, are maintained by local church boards or township committees. These cemeteries tend to be flexible about marker specifications and often accept flat markers without a formal approval process.

South Dakota does not charge sales tax, which can make purchasing a headstone more affordable compared to neighboring states. This applies to both in-state and online purchases.
