Dog Memorial Stones

Granite Dog Headstones and Grave Stones

Flat Granite Markers: Our granite dog headstones are available in black, gray, rustic, green, and burgundy granite with sizes ranging from compact 6×6 garden markers to full-sized 24×12 cemetery slabs. Most flat granite dog grave stones can be personalized with your dog's name, dates, a short verse, paw print designs, and a laser-etched photograph of your companion. Flat markers lie flush with the ground and meet the requirements of most pet cemeteries. Granite dog memorial stones start at $157.95 and are built to last decades outdoors without fading. Popular collections include Simplicity markers in six sizes, Grace markers with elegant rounded edges, and heart-shaped granite markers with etched paw prints. These are among the most popular headstones for dogs at both formal pet cemeteries and home burial sites.

Upright Dog Monuments: For a more prominent tribute, our upright granite monuments feature etched portraits and personalized text on polished natural granite. Available in rounded, apex, and scallop designs, these standing dog headstones are ideal for backyard burials, garden memorials, and pet cemeteries that permit upright installations. Upright dog monuments start at $257.95 and are available in sizes from small desktop memorials to full-sized standing headstones.

Bronze Dog Headstones

Our cast bronze dog headstones are manufactured to the same quality standards as human cemetery markers. Each bronze marker is mounted on a granite base and cast with your dog's name, dates, and optional emblem or portrait. The bone-shaped bronze marker is one of our most popular dog grave markers, offering a distinctive shape that immediately identifies the memorial as a tribute to a canine companion. Other available shapes include rectangle, oval, arch, round, and curved designs. Bronze dog tombstone markers start at $1,097.95 and are accepted at most regulated pet cemeteries. The casting process produces grave markers for dogs that resist corrosion and maintain their fine detail for decades, even in harsh weather conditions.

Cultured Stone Dog Markers

For an affordable dog grave marker, our cultured stone options in cast stone, ceramic, and cultured marble start at $87.95. Many cultured markers feature pre-inscribed dog-themed verses such as "Best Friend" and "Faithful Companion," while others include an attached plaque for personalized engraving. Cultured dog memorial stones are lighter than natural granite, making them easy to place in a garden, beside a favorite tree, or at any outdoor memorial spot at home. Several designs include free engraving with your dog's name and dates, making them an excellent value for families seeking a personalized dog grave marker without the cost of granite or bronze.

Choosing a Dog Headstone or Grave Marker

Cemetery vs. Home Burial: Pet cemeteries typically require flat markers in specific sizes --- bronze and granite flat markers are your best options. Contact your cemetery before ordering to confirm their regulations. For home and garden burials, you have full flexibility to choose any style, including upright granite monuments and cultured stone markers placed at ground level.

Personalization Options: Granite and bronze dog headstones offer the most customization, including names, dates, verses, breed-specific emblems, and laser-etched photographs. Cultured markers often come with pre-set dog inscriptions and offer name and date personalization on an attached plaque. For inscription ideas, explore our collection of cat and dog epitaphs for popular verses and quotes.

Adding a Photo: Granite markers support portraits etched directly into the stone surface. For bronze or cultured markers, you can add a separate pet cemetery picture --- a ceramic portrait plate that mounts to any smooth memorial surface and is guaranteed for life against fading and breakage.
