40+ Granite Colours for UK Headstones.
Our granite range covers over 40 verified varieties sourced directly from Indian quarries. Below are our five most-specified granite variety by UK memorial dealers. Browse our full 40+ colour range.
| Granite Colours | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| Absolute Black Granite | The most widely specified granite colour for UK headstones. Its deep, uniform black polish holds detail in laser-etched and gold-leaf lettering exceptionally well and is accepted by virtually every cemetery authority in the UK. |
| Bahama Blue Granite | A distinctive blue-grey granite with natural mineral flecking, popular for floral-carved and bespoke designs where buyers want a memorial that stands out from standard black or grey stock. |
| Light Grey Granite | A lighter alternative to Absolute Black for modern lawn cemeteries and sites that favour lighter tones. In a honed finish it is also the usual starting point for churchyard applications. |
| Imperial Red Granite | A warm-toned red granite used for headstones and memorial benches where families want a distinctive, less traditional finish. It also has demand from religious and cultural communities where red carries specific significance. |
| Indian Aurora Granite | A premium variegated granite with warm pink-and-grey tones, typically positioned as a higher-margin bespoke option alongside Black Pearl and Blue Pearl. |

Why Trade Buyers Choose Granite Headstones
Granite is one of the most widely installed memorial materials in UK cemeteries.
- Durable: Its low-porosity surface resists the freeze-thaw cycles that degrade softer stones in the UK climate.
- Low maintenance: A mirror polish keeps its finish for decades.
- Wide colour range: Helps you meet local authority and diocese requirements.
- Reliable margins: Predictable demand, low returns and upsell potential through engraving, accessories and kerb set upgrades.
Finishes and Engraving Options
Mirror polish is our standard finish and is accepted by virtually all cemetery authorities. Honed or matte finishes are increasingly specified for woodland, natural burial and conservation cemeteries where reflective surfaces are restricted.
- Fully polished granite surfaces
- Honed or matte finishes
- Decorative moulding or carved edges
- Custom engraved inscriptions and lettering
Engraving: sandblasted lettering, laser-etched portrait artwork and hand-carved decorative elements. Infill is available in gold leaf, painted colour, or bare for masons applying their own. Blank polished slabs are available for engraving workshops.
