Double Deep Cemetery Bronze Headstones

Companion Cemetery Bronze Headstones for Double-Depth Plots

Memorials.com carries a selection of double deep cemetery bronze headstones designed for double-depth burial plots. Each memorial features two individual bronze plaques mounted on a shared granite base, making them an ideal choice for couples or family members sharing a single cemetery plot. Our double deep bronze markers are available in multiple sizes with your choice of granite and bronze colors, and every order ships free.

Sizes and Configurations for Double Deep Cemetery Bronze Headstones

Each double deep cemetery bronze headstone consists of two individual bronze plaques set onto a single granite base. We offer several size configurations to accommodate different cemetery regulations and plot dimensions. Standard options include two 24" x 12" plaques on a 28" x 30" granite base and two 24" x 14" plaques on a 28" x 34" base. For families who want a built-in flower holder, we also offer configurations with a bronze vase mounted between the two plaques on a wider granite base — either 28" x 38" or 28" x 42" depending on plaque size. The vase provides a permanent, weather-resistant receptacle for fresh or silk flowers. Because every cemetery has its own size and style requirements, we perform a cemetery verification before production begins to ensure your double deep bronze markers meet local regulations.

Ordering One Plaque or Both

Many families purchase companion cemetery bronze headstones before both individuals have passed. If only one plaque is needed now, you can order either the top or bottom plaque on its own. We pre-drill the granite base so a second plaque can be added at a later date with a straightforward installation. When both plaques are needed at the same time, we produce and mount them together for a unified memorial. Either way, each plaque is individually designed and cast, so you can choose different emblems, lettering styles, or bronze colors for each person's plaque while maintaining a cohesive overall appearance on the shared granite base.

Customization Options

Granite Colors: Choose from eight standard granite colors ranging from classic gray and black to warm rose and brown tones, with premium colors available at an additional cost. The granite base provides a durable foundation that complements the bronze plaques and withstands outdoor cemetery conditions year-round.

Bronze Colors: Select from seven standard bronze finishes. Premium bronze colors are also available for an upgrade fee. Each plaque is individually cast with your chosen finish for a rich, lasting appearance.

Lettering and Emblems: Every plaque includes names, dates of birth, and dates of death, plus up to 15 characters of additional lettering such as "In Loving Memory," "Together Forever," or "Rest in Peace." You may also select up to three emblems from a catalog of over 10,000 options, including crosses, praying hands, hearts, roses, and many more.

How Double Deep Bronze Markers Differ from Other Headstone Styles

Double deep bronze markers are designed specifically for double-depth cemetery plots where two caskets are buried in the same grave space, one above the other. This makes them different from side-by-side companion granite headstones, which mark two adjacent plots. Because double-depth plots use a single grave space rather than two, the flat marker configuration with two bronze plaques on one granite base is the most common cemetery-approved style. If you are unsure which style fits your cemetery arrangement, our guide to headstone vs. grave marker differences explains the key distinctions between flat markers, upright monuments, and companion memorials.

For families considering a single flat bronze plaque rather than a double-depth configuration, our flat bronze grave markers and bronze headstones collections offer individual options in a variety of sizes and designs. Bronze is a popular choice for cemetery memorials because of its lasting durability and the rich, detailed designs that can be achieved through casting, including portraits, scenic imagery, and intricate emblems.

Cemetery Verification and Layout Approval

Before we begin production on any double deep cemetery bronze headstone, our team contacts your cemetery to verify plot dimensions, approved marker sizes, and any material or design restrictions. Many cemeteries have specific rules about flat marker dimensions, granite thickness, and whether bronze vases are permitted, so this step is essential to avoid delays or rejected installations. Once verified, we create a detailed layout proof showing exactly how your plaques will look, including lettering, emblems, and colors. You review and approve the layout before we proceed to casting. This ensures your finished memorial meets both your expectations and your cemetery's requirements.
