30″ x 6″ x 20″ Upright Headstones

A 30″ x 6″ x 20″ upright headstone is a classic granite tablet sized to fit most standard cemetery plots, available from $2,499 to $3,449 depending on base width and vase count. This collection shows the three configurations side by side so you can compare footprint and price before customizing. Once you choose a base and vase option, you'll move into Signature Headstones' online design app to add names, dates, and wording.

Choosing Your Base & Vase Configuration

The 30″ x 6″ x 20″ upright tablet pairs with three base and vase options. The 42″ Base runs $2,499 to $3,049 with no vase, the 42″ Base & Vase adds one vase for $2,599 to $3,149, and the 48″ Base & Two Vases widens to $2,899 to $3,449 for two vases side by side. The wider base simply gives the extra vase room to sit level and centered; it does not change the plot size you need, since most single and double plots can accept either width. What matters most is your cemetery's written rule on maximum base width and foundation type, which governs acceptance rather than the FTC Funeral Rule, a rule that applies to funeral homes, not cemeteries. For general monument standards, see Monument Builders of North America, or compare footprints in our upright headstones collection. Confirm width and foundation with your cemetery before you begin customizing.

Stone Colors Available for This Size

This 30 x 6 x 20 upright comes in five granite colors: Bahama Blue, Black, Grey, Pink, and Red. Polished granite holds engraving crisp and color true for decades outdoors. For a deep black finish or traditional red granite in this size, browse Black Headstone or Red Granite Headstones.

Single or Companion Layout

This size comes as a Single stone for one name or a Companion layout for two names, so settle on wording before customizing. A Single stone keeps the full width for one name and an epitaph, while Companion splits that width between two names side by side. See Single Upright Headstones or Single Headstones for Two Names.

Frequently asked questions

Will a 30″ x 6″ x 20″ upright headstone with a base fit my cemetery plot?

Most single or double plots fit either base width, but cemeteries set their own rules on maximum width, foundation type, and placement, so get written approval before ordering.

What's the difference between the 42″ base and the 48″ base options?

The 42″ base suits the tablet alone or with one vase, while the 48″ base is wider to balance two vases on either side. Price rises with the larger base and extra vase.

Can I add one vase or two vases to this headstone, and can I add a vase later?

Pick the 42″ base and vase option for one vase or the 48″ base and two vases option for two, at checkout. Vase-count changes are free before production starts; once production begins, changes may carry a fee, so confirm your choice during design review.

Does my cemetery handle installation of the base and headstone, or is that separate from the purchase?

Installation and setting fees are separate from the purchase price and arranged with your cemetery, which supplies its own crew or approved installer. Ask your cemetery representative for their current setting fee before you order.
