Heart Shaped Headstone

A heart shaped headstone is a special-shape granite monument carved as a single heart, stacked or side-by-side double heart, or heart paired with an angel figure, priced from $165 for a ceramic photo plaque to $8,599 for our largest double angel & heart design. Browse the five styles below, then confirm with your cemetery which shape and base width your loved one's section allows before you order.

Heart Shaped Headstone Styles We Offer

Signature Headstones carries five heart-shaped designs, so you can choose a style that fits how you want to remember your loved one rather than settling for a single generic outline.

• Single Heart (24″ x 6″ x 26″ on a 36″ base) — $2,999–$3,399. A clean, single-heart silhouette for one name and one epitaph. See the single heart headstone.
• Double Stacked Heart (34″ x 6″ x 44″ on a 48″ base) — $3,299–$3,799. Two hearts rise one above the other for a taller profile that still reads as one monument. View the double stacked heart headstone.
• Double Heart (42″ x 6″ x 26″ on a 54″ base) — $3,599–$3,999. Two hearts set side by side, built for two names sharing one wide monument.
• Angel Holding Heart (36″ x 8″ x 36″ on a 48″ bevel base) — $6,399–$6,899. A carved angel figure rests against the heart, a popular choice when the loss feels especially personal. See more in our angel headstone collection.
• Double Angel & Heart (50″ x 8″ x 30″ on a 60″ base) — $8,199–$8,599. The largest design here, pairing two angels with a heart for a companion memorial with real presence.

Every design ships with free standard shipping to a business address anywhere in the continental US, a 30-day turnaround on in-stock granite, and our 500-year guarantee on the stone. These prices cover the monument only; cemetery installation and foundation work are billed separately.

Matching Base Size to Your Cemetery Plot

Base width tells you, at a glance, whether a heart monument will fit the plot your cemetery has assigned. The single heart sits on a 36″ base, the double stacked heart and angel holding heart both use a 48″ base, the double heart sits on a 54″ base, and the double angel & heart design needs the full 60″ base.

Before ordering, measure the plot or call the cemetery office to confirm the maximum width allowed in that section.

Adding a Ceramic Photo Portrait

A kiln-fired ceramic photo portrait lets you put your loved one's face on the stone itself, in a heart shape that echoes the monument around it. Signature Headstones offers four heart-shaped photo plaques that pair with any design above or stand alone as a smaller memorial:

• 4 x 4 Heart Shaped Ceramic Photo – Black & White — $165
• 6 x 6 Heart Shaped Ceramic Photo – Black & White — $210
• 4 x 4 Heart Shaped Ceramic Photo – Color — $265
• 6 x 6 Heart Shaped Ceramic Photo – Color — $350

Color plaques reproduce a photograph closer to how you remember it; black and white gives a more classic, timeless look against polished granite. Because each portrait is fired and finished individually, exact timing for a photo order is confirmed when you order, so ask your Signature Headstones representative before finalizing your design.

Confirming Your Cemetery Allows a Heart Shaped Monument

Not every cemetery section allows a heart-shaped, upright monument, so this is the one call to make before you design anything. Many lawn and garden sections restrict markers to flat, flush styles for mowing reasons, while older or dedicated monument sections often allow uprights and special shapes like hearts and angels.

Ask your cemetery, in writing, to confirm the styles allowed in your loved one's section, the maximum size and base width for that plot, whether a poured foundation is required and who pours it, any plot number that must be engraved, and whether granite color is restricted. The FTC Funeral Rule protects families shopping at funeral homes, but it does not apply to cemeteries or monument sellers, so acceptance comes down to that section's own written rules. For general background on monument standards, Monument Builders of North America is a useful outside resource.

If this monument will mark a veteran's grave, note that the VA furnishes a government headstone, marker, or medallion at no charge for an eligible veteran in any cemetery, under its own headstone, marker, and medallion standards; setting fees at a private cemetery remain the family's responsibility, and spouses or dependents qualify only in national or state veterans cemeteries.

If your section turns out to be flat-only, our flat headstones collection carries the same spirit of personalization in a style every cemetery accepts, and our special shape headstones collection shows every upright and accent shape we carry beyond the hearts here.

Heart Memorials for Couples and Companions

A heart shape works just as well for two people as it does for one, and two of our designs are built with that in mind. The Double Heart and Double Stacked Heart both carry enough face width for two full names, two sets of dates, and a shared epitaph, so a married couple or two family members can be remembered on one monument instead of two.

If you are planning ahead for a spouse or comparing other shared-memorial formats, our double headstones hub and married couple husband and wife headstones collection cover companion styles beyond the heart shape, including flat and upright options for sections that do not allow a special shape.

Frequently asked questions

Will my cemetery allow a heart shaped headstone, or are they restricted to certain sections?

Many cemeteries restrict heart-shaped and other special-shape uprights to specific sections, while lawn or garden sections often require flat, flush markers instead. Confirm directly with your cemetery office, in writing, which styles are approved for your loved one's exact plot before you order.

What's the difference between a single heart, double stacked heart, and double heart design?

A single heart is built for one name. A double stacked heart places two hearts one above the other for a taller profile. A double heart places two hearts side by side, a common choice for two names on one wide monument.

Can I add a photo portrait to a heart shaped headstone, and what sizes are available?

Yes, a kiln-fired ceramic photo portrait can be added to any heart design. We offer 4x4 and 6x6 heart-shaped photo plaques in black & white or color, so you can match the portrait size to the scale of the monument.

What base width do I need, and how do I know what my plot allows?

Our heart designs ship on 36″, 48″, 54″, or 60″ bases depending on style, with the single heart on the smallest base and the double angel & heart design on the widest. Measure your plot and ask the cemetery office for the maximum base width and foundation requirements in that section.

How long does a custom heart shaped headstone take to arrive, and is shipping included?

Signature Headstones offers a 30-day turnaround on in-stock granite, with free standard shipping to a business address anywhere in the continental US. Alaska, Hawaii, and residential deliveries require an added fee, so contact us for an estimate if either applies to your order.

Does the listed price include installation or foundation work at the cemetery?

No. The prices shown cover the monument itself; installation, setting, and any required foundation are handled and billed separately by the cemetery. Ask your cemetery representative for their installation fee before you finalize your order.
