In this guide: configurations and pricing, granite color options, and confirming your cemetery's size requirements.

Choosing Between the Three 24 x 6 x 20 Configurations

This 24 x 6 x 20 upright comes in three configurations, built around flowers and footprint rather than the stone itself. The 24″ x 6″ x 20″ Upright Headstone with 36″ Base is simplest, priced $1,999 to $2,499. Add a single vase on the same 36 inch base with the Base & Vase version, $2,099 to $2,599. For two vases, the 40" Base & Two Vases version runs $2,399 to $2,899.

Granite Color Options for This Size

This size comes in five granite colors: Bahama Blue, Black, Grey, Pink, and Red. Grey and black are the most traditional, while Bahama Blue and Pink offer a softer look. Prefer red? See our Red Granite Headstones collection for more options. Every color carries the same 500-year guarantee.

Confirming This Size Fits Your Cemetery Plot

Before ordering, confirm with your cemetery in writing: the allowed base width, 36 or 40 inches, for your section, whether a vase is permitted, and whether a poured foundation is required. Cemeteries set their own rules per section, and a monument dealer cannot guarantee approval, only match the stone to the rules you bring us. For general plot-size standards, the National Cemetery Administration publishes reference dimensions for headstones and markers used in government cemeteries, which can help frame what to ask your own cemetery. The FTC Funeral Rule covers funeral homes, not cemetery acceptance of outside monuments (FTC Funeral Rule); the Monument Builders of North America offers general sizing background. Need a different footprint? See our 36 x 6 x 24 Upright Headstones or Double Headstones for two names. Standard turnaround is 30 days with free shipping to a continental US business address, backed by our 500-year guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 36 inch and 40 inch base options on this upright headstone?

The 36 inch base fits our base-only and single-vase versions. The 40 inch base is wider, built for the two-vase version. Your cemetery's plot width determines which fits.

Should I order a headstone with no vase, one vase, or two vases?

A no-vase stone suits cemeteries that restrict in-ground vases. A single vase fits most individual graves. Two vases suit companion plots or flowers on both sides, so check your cemetery's rule first.

Will my cemetery accept a 24 x 6 x 20 upright on a 36 inch or 40 inch base?

Each cemetery sets its own base width and foundation rules, so confirm in writing before ordering; we build to your chosen size but can't guarantee cemetery approval.

How long does production and shipping take for this size, and what guarantee covers it?

Standard turnaround on this size runs about 30 days, with free standard shipping to a continental US business address. Every stone is backed by our 500-year guarantee against the granite losing its finish. Expedited or residential delivery carries an added fee beyond that standard free shipping.
