Long story but my Nanna died over 10 years ago and my Dad (who I do not speak to)still hasn't put a headstone on her grave so my brother and I want to buy one. Just need an idea of cost before we sort it out. Help would be really appreciated.

The cost is different depending on where you live.
Also, do you want an upright headstone or a Granite Grave Marker.
Check with the cemetery where your grandmother is buried to find out their Cemetery Rules.
Check out some sites for idea's.

Hi,
Im in the UK and my Mothers nan died about 8 years ago, she also has no headstone and I was looking to buy one for her too.
They can cost from £400 (stone) to £1000+ (marble) They are quite pricey here in the UK but I assume they would be worth the same in the US. (Im talking about US & UK because you didnt say where you were from)

hundreds unfortunately, and then hundreds again to get them engraved.
you may be able to get a local business to help, such as where your nan used to work, shop, socialise?
you may be allowed to erect a wooden memorial, and have a plaque engraved, to keep the costs down, but the church may argue that it isn't in keeping with the rest of the grounds.
all the best.

the price of gravestones range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars it all depends on what you want for your Nana`s stone. the best way is contact several marker company's and find out what they charge for what you want on the stone.

Not to the headstone, but to the dead loved one.
