Double Deep Bronze Headstones

Bronze on Granite Double Headstone Designs

Every double deep bronze headstone pairs one or two cast bronze plaques with a natural granite base. The bronze plaque holds the name, dates, inscription, and optional emblems, while the granite base provides a durable foundation that withstands decades of outdoor exposure. This combination of materials is one of the most popular choices for double grave headstones in cemeteries across the country.

Single-Plaque Designs: A single wide bronze plaque displays both names side by side or stacked, creating a unified companion memorial. These designs work well for couples who prefer a seamless, balanced appearance with shared imagery and lettering.

Dual-Plaque Designs: Two separate bronze plaques are mounted on a shared granite base — one above the other. This layout allows each person to have their own dedicated space for names, dates, emblems, and inscriptions. If only one plaque is needed now, we pre-drill the granite base so a second plaque can be added later without any modification to the memorial.

Sizes and Configurations

Double plot headstones are available in several standard configurations to fit cemetery plot requirements. Size availability depends on your cemetery's rules and regulations, so we always recommend confirming the allowed dimensions before ordering. We perform a cemetery verification and size check on every order before production begins.

Standard Sizes: Common configurations include two 24″ × 12″ bronze plaques on a 28″ × 30″ granite base, or two 24″ × 14″ plaques on a 28″ × 34″ base. Larger options with a flower vase mounted between the plaques are also available, including 28″ × 38″ and 28″ × 42″ bases.

Vase Options: Several configurations include an integrated bronze flower vase positioned between the two plaques. Vases are available as an add-on during the ordering process and complement the overall design of the memorial.

Personalization and Emblems

Every double headstone from Memorials.com is fully customizable. You will see a complete layout proof and approve the design before we begin production — nothing is made until you are satisfied.

Granite and Bronze Colors: Choose from eight granite colors and seven bronze finishes to create the exact look you want. Premium color options are also available for an additional charge.

Engraving and Lettering: Each headstone includes names, dates of birth, dates of death, and up to 15 characters of additional lettering — phrases like "In Loving Memory," "Together Forever," or "Rest in Peace." Additional lettering beyond 15 characters is available at a per-character rate. For more ideas, see our guide to headstone engraving costs and options.

Emblems: Up to three emblems are included at no extra charge, with over 10,000 options to choose from — crosses, praying hands, hearts, roses, hummingbirds, military insignia, and much more. Emblems add a personal touch that reflects a loved one's faith, hobbies, or personality.

Choosing the Right Double Grave Marker

Selecting the right joint headstone starts with understanding your cemetery's specific requirements. Contact your cemetery to ask about allowed dimensions, material restrictions, and installation rules for your plot. For a broader overview of cemetery requirements, our article on cemetery regulations for headstones and markers covers the most common rules you may encounter.

Single-Depth vs. Double Deep Format: Standard bronze headstones are wider (left to right), while double deep headstones have greater depth (top to bottom) to accommodate two stacked plaques. Both categories share many of the same designs, granite colors, bronze finishes, and emblem options. If you are unsure which format fits your plot, our customer service team can help you determine the right choice. To understand the differences between flat and upright memorial styles, see our guide to choosing between headstone and marker styles.

Other Headstone Styles: If a double deep configuration is not required for your plot, explore our granite headstones for upright companion designs, bronze grave markers for flat single memorials, or bronze headstones with pictures for ceramic photo options. For headstones double the size of standard markers that include photographic elements, these larger formats may be ideal.
