Slanted grave markers are a popular choice because they are easier to see in a cemetery than a flat or lawn level gravestone. They are not as tall as an upright monument but are often less expensive than larger upright monuments. Slanted gravemarkers are often placed on a granite base above the grave. When they are placed on a granite base, they are often described as "slant on base grave markers". These types of memorials generally have a wide base which rises at an angle (45 to 60 degrees) to a tapered top. The front of the monument is slanted making it easier for visitors to the gravesite to read the inscriptions and epitaphs. The marker usually states the name of the deceased and their birth and death dates. Kornick & Berliner Monument Company, upon request, can include personal information in the form of epitaphs, inscriptions, sayings, quotes, poems or verses. We can also memorialize the person who died with images of the deceased in the form of hand or laser etchings or porcelain or ceramic portrait photos.

Kornick & Berliner Monument Company can enhance the appearance of a slant style headstone by creating and attaching a porcelain photograph or ceramic portrait. Unique designs can be etched and carved into slanted grave markers by the expert craftsman at Kornick & Berliner Monument Company.

You can choose from multiple design variations. The top of a slant memorial can have a straight, rounded or serpentine shape. Slant shaped grave markers that memorialize the life of one person are referred to as a "single" or "individual" slant markers, while slant shaped grave markers that memorialize the life of two people are described as "companion" or "double" slant markers. Double or companion slant markers are used to designate the location of 2 burial plots in a cemetery or memorial park. Slant markers are a very affordable option.
