Infant Bronze Headstones

Bronze on Granite Infant Grave Markers

Every infant grave marker in this collection features a two-part construction: a cast bronze plaque permanently attached to a polished granite base. This combination creates a lawn-level memorial that lies flat against the ground, meeting the regulations of most cemeteries across the country. The bronze surface holds finely detailed border artwork, while the granite base provides lasting stability and a clean, finished appearance. As one of the most trusted sources for headstones for babies and young children, Memorials.com offers these markers in a range of sizes to fit infant and children's cemetery plots. Families can select from eight standard granite colors and seven bronze color finishes, giving each marker a look that feels personal and distinctive.

Border Designs and Personalization

Border Artwork: The border is the visual centerpiece of each infant grave marker. Options range from simple framing with a single pacifier motif to intricate designs featuring angels, lambs, hearts, butterflies, and floral arrangements. Every border design is cast directly into the bronze, creating a relief that will not fade or wear away over time.

Custom Lettering: Each marker includes the child's name, date of birth, and date of passing at no additional charge. Up to 15 characters of additional lettering are also included — families often choose phrases such as "In Loving Memory," "Forever in Our Hearts," or "Our Little Angel." Lettering beyond 15 characters is available at a per-character rate shown on the order form.

Emblems: Three optional emblems are included with every order, chosen from a library of over 10,000 designs. Popular choices for infant memorial stones include crosses, praying hands, teddy bears, doves, and small footprints. Additional emblems beyond the included three are available by contacting our customer service team for a quote.

Adding a Photo to an Infant Memorial

For families who want to include a portrait, two options are available. A ceramic memorial photo can be added directly to the marker in oval, round, square, rectangle, or heart shapes, produced in color or black and white and set in a custom bronze ring. Alternatively, an expression in bronze portrait captures the image as a solid bronze casting — a style seen on many infant gravestones and children's memorials in cemeteries across the country. Both photo options are available in multiple sizes, and our design team will help determine the best fit during the layout process. Visit our memorial pictures section for the full selection.

Choosing the Right Infant Grave Marker

Cemetery Requirements: Before any marker goes into production, Memorials.com contacts your cemetery to verify that the size, material, and design comply with their specific regulations. This step is included at no charge and ensures your order will be accepted for installation without delays. For more on how cemetery rules affect marker selection, see our guide to cemetery regulations for urns and markers.

Size and Layout: Infant grave markers are available in sizes appropriate for infant and children's burial plots. Once you place your order, our design team creates a detailed layout proof showing the exact placement of text, emblems, and border artwork. You review and approve this proof before production begins — nothing is made until you are satisfied with the design.

Granite and Bronze Colors: Standard granite colors are included in the listed price, with premium granite options available at an additional cost shown on the order form. The same applies to bronze finishes — seven standard colors are included, with premium options available. All pricing updates automatically in the cart when selections are made.

Companion Markers: If you need a marker that includes more than one name — for twins or siblings — additional name, date, and lettering sets are available. Contact our team for a custom quote on companion infant grave markers.
