Slant Uprights are an elegant step up from the smaller pillow uprights in the upright headstone category. Typically ranging in height from 16 to 20 inches, these monuments provide a more prominent and substantial presence in a cemetery setting. The dimensions of slant uprights can vary in width, offering families the flexibility to choose a size that aligns with their personal preferences and fits within their budget while also adhering to the specific guidelines and regulations set forth by the cemetery where they will be placed.

From the side view, slant uprights exhibit a distinctive “wedge” or “triangle” shape. This design feature is characterized by a broader base that gradually tapers in depth as it ascends toward the top, which inspired the name “Slant.” This sloped design not only adds a visually striking element but also contributes to the overall stability of the monument, ensuring it can withstand the elements over time.

The angled surface of slant uprights provides an excellent space for engravings and inscriptions, making it easier to read and appreciate the commemorative messages that families wish to convey. Whether it is a simple name and date, a heartfelt message, or a significant symbol, the design of slant uprights allows for these personal touches to be showcased prominently. Overall, this style of headstone represents a thoughtful choice that combines beauty, functionality, and meaningful remembrance, making it a favored option for many families looking to honor their loved ones.
