Slant Markers

Slant Markers

At Stoltz Memorials, we understand how important it is to create a memorial that reflects a loved one’s life with dignity, warmth, and lasting beauty. Slant markers—also known as slanted headstones—offer a timeless and elegant way to honor and remember someone special. Their gently angled design provides visibility and distinction, while maintaining a lower profile that blends seamlessly into any cemetery setting.

What Is a Slant Marker?

A slant marker is a type of grave marker that sits upright with a sloped face, allowing the inscription to be easily read from a standing position. Unlike flat grave markers that lie flush with the ground, slant markers rise slightly, offering a bold presence without the height of a traditional upright monument. These markers can be placed directly on the ground or paired with a base for added height and personalization.

Slant markers are available in a wide range of sizes, colors, and styles—making them a flexible option for families who want to create a heartfelt tribute that suits their vision and budget.

Why Choose a Slant Marker?

Elegant, Readable Design

The angled face makes inscriptions easy to read while protecting the design from weather-related wear. It also gives families more space for personalization than flat markers.

Space-Conscious and Versatile

Slant markers are ideal for both individual and companion gravesites. They work well in smaller plots or where cemetery regulations limit monument height.

Customizable and Affordable

These markers offer the upright look many families prefer but at a lower cost than larger monuments. Whether simple or detailed, each slant marker we create is customized with care and precision.

Materials and Color Options

Granite is our most popular choice due to its strength, durability, and variety of color options. It holds engraving detail beautifully and withstands Indiana’s changing weather with ease.

Available colors include:

  • Georgia Gray
  • Jet Black
  • Bahama Blue
  • Morning Rose
  • Mahogany

And more

Bronze Accents (Optional)

Some families choose to add bronze plaques or emblems to their granite slant markers for added depth, elegance, and contrast.

Personalization Options

We believe every memorial should be as unique as the life it honors. With Stoltz Memorials, you’ll work closely with our team to customize every detail of your slant marker.

Inscriptions and Epitaphs

From names and dates to meaningful phrases and scripture, we help you choose the words that best reflect your loved one’s memory.

Symbolic Artwork

You can include religious icons, nature motifs, military symbols, or images that represent hobbies and passions.

Etched Portraits

Laser-etched photos add a personal and lifelike touch. Whether it’s a favorite photo or a symbolic image, our team can help you select artwork that speaks to the heart.

Installation and Cemetery Compliance

Every cemetery has its own regulations regarding monument size, materials, and placement. Our experienced team handles the entire process—from design to installation—and ensures your marker meets all cemetery requirements.

We also offer optional granite bases and flower vases, which add height, symmetry, and space for floral tributes.

Caring for a Slant Marker

Slant markers are built to last, but regular care helps keep them looking their best.

  • Granite: Clean with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth.
  • Bronze: Use a bronze-safe cleaner and apply a protective wax to maintain shine.
  • Avoid pressure washers or harsh chemicals that can damage the surface.

We also offer professional cleaning services and can advise you on seasonal maintenance.

Sizes and Layouts

Slant markers come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different preferences and cemetery rules.

Typical sizes include:

  • Individual Slant Marker: 24″–36″ wide
  • Companion Slant Marker: 30″–48″ wide
  • Standard Height: 16″–18″ high at the back, with a 6″–8″ base (optional)
