There's black granite white grantie blue granite and red granite. Granite comes in nearly every color of the rainbow. These granite colors are many times totally unique to certain parts of the globe. For this reason there are inexpensive granites to extremely expensive depending on their geographical location and their availability. Color is the single biggest factor in changing price of your gravestone or pet memorial. 2 Size The second pricing factor is the size of your memorial. Obviously if you've got a larger memorial the bigger the size the more pricey it's going to be. But size is less an element than color. As an example if you double the size of your monument rather than double the cost the price would instead only rise about 60 . So that you can get more bang for your buck by increasing the size of your headstone or tombstone. 3 Shape and Finish The third factor in the cost of your memorial is how much workmanship or cost there is in shaping the stone. Easy shapes cost less than more difficult shapes. The more workmanship you have into a product or the more complex the design and shaping of the stone that's needed can greatly affect the final price of the monument. Shape and finish can easily move from the least pricey part of your memorial to the most expensive depending on the final design you choose. Dependent on the combination of color shape and size finish you choose your memorial can vary widely from hundreds of bucks to thousands of greenbacks all controlled by each of the 3 selections you make in your legacy stone creative process.
