About Heart Headstones
A heart-shaped headstone is a deeply personal and expressive choice — a universal symbol of love that speaks without words. Heart memorials have grown in popularity over recent decades and are now one of the most requested styles we produce.
We craft heart headstones in all our standard granite and marble colours, in a range of sizes to suit different cemetery sections and grave types. The smooth, curved profile of a heart memorial takes a high polish beautifully, and the wide face provides excellent space for inscriptions and artwork.
Heart headstones are permitted in most traditional cemetery sections. Some lawn sections may have restrictions on non-standard profiles — we will confirm what is permitted at your chosen cemetery before any design work begins.
Styles Available
Classic Heart
A symmetrical heart profile in polished granite or marble — the most popular form. Available in all our standard colours.
Heart with Wings
A heart shape with sculpted or engraved wings extending from the sides — combining two powerful symbols of love and freedom.
Double Heart
Two overlapping or interlocking hearts — a beautiful choice for a joint memorial for a couple.
Heart on Plinth
A heart-shaped stone mounted on a raised rectangular plinth — adds height and presence, and provides additional space for inscription.
Heart with Kerb Set
A heart headstone combined with a full kerb surround — a complete and dignified memorial for a full grave space.
Small Heart
A smaller heart memorial for cremated remains plots, children's sections, and sites with reduced size limits.
Popular Colours
Polished Black
The most popular choice — gold lettering on black granite is a classic combination.
Rose Pink
A warm, soft pink granite — particularly popular for women's memorials and children's graves
Absolute Black
A deep, uniform black with a mirror-like polish — striking and contemporary.
White Marble
Pure white Carrara marble — luminous and timeless. A classic choice for heart memorials.
Balmoral Red
A rich red-brown Scottish granite with natural crystal flecks — warm and distinctive.
Blue Pearl
A Norwegian granite with iridescent blue-grey crystals — unique and beautiful.
