Designing a Custom Headstone: 5 Key Considerations for a Lasting Tribute

Posted on July 15, 2025 | By Bedrock Boulders Team

Creating a custom headstone is a deeply personal way to honor a loved one, blending artistry with emotional significance. At Bedrock Boulders, we guide families through this process with care. Here are five key considerations to ensure your memorial is both meaningful and durable.

First, choose a material suited to Houston’s humid climate—our engineered stone resists weathering and cracking, unlike traditional granite.

Second, consider personalization options, such as engravings, symbols, or even custom shapes, to reflect the individual’s legacy.

Third, think about size and shape; a larger headstone may stand out, but cemetery regulations often dictate dimensions.

Fourth, plan for installation requirements, as proper placement ensures stability.

Fifth, set a realistic budget—custom designs can vary widely in cost, but we offer flexible options to suit your needs.

Our team at Bedrock Boulders works closely with you to balance aesthetics, durability, and affordability, creating a headstone that stands as a timeless tribute. Ready to start designing?
