Why Trade Buyers Choose Granite Headstones
Industry suppliers consistently report granite as the most-installed memorial material in UK cemeteries, ahead of marble and limestone, due to its durability and wide colour range."
Its non-porous surface resists the freeze-thaw cycles that degrade softer stones in the UK climate. Its mirror polish retains its finish for decades with minimal maintenance, and its wide colour range ensures cemetery acceptance across virtually all local authorities and diocese regulations.
For trade buyers, granite headstones offer a consistent margin profile: predictable demand, low returns, and strong upsell potential through engraving, accessories and kerb set upgrades.
