How much does a headstone cost?

A headstone usually costs somewhere between 1,000 and 3,000 dollars, though larger upright monuments and custom designs can run higher. Flat markers tend to be the most affordable, while upright stones and elaborate engraving cost more. The price also depends on the material, size, and any artwork or lettering you choose. For eligible veterans, the government provides a headstone or marker at no cost, which is a meaningful way to honor their service.
