Upright-headstone granite memorials use a vertically oriented headstone as the main visual element. KANNO examples include KN03 – minimalist upright headstone and KN04 – neoclassical upright headstone.
If you are selecting the headstone itself, lettering and headstone-to-body proportion, see the separate granite headstone guide.
KANNO upright-headstone examples
KN03 – Minimalist Upright Headstone
KN03 uses Indian Black Granite and a restrained geometric composition centered on the relationship between headstone, memorial body and base.
KN04 – Neoclassical Upright Headstone
KN04 is recorded at 810 × 680 × 1250 mm. In KANNO’s classification, the 810 mm width places it in the compact reburial/cremation group; 1250 mm is the overall height and does not define the burial method.
How to choose an upright-headstone memorial
- Confirm reburial/cremation or in-ground burial.
- Measure the plot, urn/ossuary or grave opening as applicable.
- Select granite and a size range that fits the budget and construction.
- Balance the proportions of body, headstone and base together.
- Approve the inscription layout before engraving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Within KANNO’s content system, compact models for cremated remains or an ossuary after reburial can be grouped together. Final dimensions still depend on the actual container and plot.
No. The burial method is determined by the actual construction and internal requirements, not by headstone height alone.
