Headstone Prices in Houston 2026: Cultured Stone from $899
If you’re searching for headstone prices in Houston TX in 2026, you’re likely looking for clear, honest information during a difficult time. At Bedrock Boulders, we help Houston families create beautiful, durable custom headstones and grave markers without the high costs associated with traditional granite. All prices below are for cultured stone memorials—not granite.
Our cultured stone memorials start at just $899 and offer excellent weather resistance for Houston’s humid, storm-prone climate — often saving families $1,000–$3,000 compared to conventional monument companies.
Why Headstone Prices Vary in Houston
Several key factors determine the final cost of a headstone in the Greater Houston area:
- Material: Traditional granite can cost significantly more than our durable cultured stone, which performs better in Texas heat and humidity with less maintenance.
- Size & Style: Single uprights, companion (double) headstones, slant markers, flat grave markers, or memorial benches.
- Customization: Engraving depth, ceramic photos, vases, borders, and unique shapes or symbols.
- Cemetery Rules: Many Houston-area cemeteries (such as Raven Hill, Morton, La Porte, or Forest Park) have specific size, base, and material requirements.
- Delivery & Installation: Local Houston production keeps shipping and setup costs low.

Cultured Stone vs Granite in Houston
Most Houston families comparing options land on two paths: traditional granite from a monument dealer, or cultured stone memorials built locally by Bedrock Boulders. Granite uprights in the Houston market often start in the $2,000–$4,000+ range before extras. Our cultured stone single headstones start at $899 with engraving and a free custom proof.
Cultured stone is engineered for Houston heat and humidity. It is not granite—and we say that clearly—so you can compare honestly. Families choose us when they want a custom look, a faster local timeline (typically 6–10 weeks), and a lower starting price without giving up weather resistance.
Timeline also differs. Imported granite can involve longer lead times. Our Houston workshop keeps production local, so most memorials move from approved proof to finished stone in about 6–10 weeks.
What's Included at $899
Our starting single headstone at $899 (typical size 24" × 24") is a complete entry point—not a blank stone with engraving sold separately. At this level you can expect:
- Custom cultured stone single headstone
- Professional engraving for names, dates, and a standard layout
- Photo option available on the memorial
- Free custom proof (typically within 24 hours) so you approve the design before we build
Companion headstones, slant/flat markers, benches, and packages with vases or bases are listed in the price table above. Final quotes depend on size, artwork complexity, and cemetery requirements—we will confirm everything before you order.
Cemetery Considerations (General Guidance)
Houston-area cemeteries set their own rules for size, height, base requirements, and sometimes materials. Before you finalize a design, check with the cemetery office (or ask us to help review the paperwork) for:
- Maximum width, height, and thickness for uprights or markers
- Whether a concrete foundation or specific base is required
- Flush/flat-only sections vs upright sections
- Approval steps and installation windows
Rules vary by cemetery and even by section within the same property. We build to the sizes you need and can coordinate local delivery so the memorial matches what the cemetery will accept. Always verify current regulations with the cemetery—do not rely on assumptions from another plot or an older memorial nearby.
