Granite tombstones, as the core carrier of traditional burial forms, are undergoing structural changes in their cost composition. In 2025, due to multiple factors such as tightening environmental policies, increasing scarcity of stone resources, and upgrading consumer demand, the cost of granite tombstones will exhibit a three-dimensional characteristic of "price increase of basic materials, premium of customized services, and additional ecological technology".
1、 Raw material cost: The quality and origin of stone determine the price benchmark
The cost cornerstone of granite tombstones lies in the selection of stone materials. By 2025, the prices of mainstream granite varieties in China will show significant stratification due to differences in origin and quality
Domestic granite: Represented by Shanxi black and sesame gray, the stone cost of basic tombstones in conventional sizes is within a certain range, and the material cost of a single tombstone after processing is also within the corresponding range.
Imported granite: Due to tariff adjustments and increased transportation costs, the cost of materials for individual tombstones has also risen for imported stones such as Indian red and British brown.
Rare stones: High end stones such as Italian white jade and Norwegian blue have high material costs for a single tombstone due to resource scarcity.
2、 Processing technology cost: technological complexity and equipment investment dominate the premium
The processing cost of granite tombstones depends on the carving technique, size specifications, and degree of customization:
Basic processing: Standard processes such as cutting, polishing, and polishing have a certain cost range and are suitable for economical tombstones.
Complex carving: Additional fees are required for techniques such as relief carving, three-dimensional modeling, and Yin/Yang carving.
3、 Design service cost: Personalized demand drives value upgrade
The deep integration of design service costs with the commemorative function and cultural connotation of tombstones has become the core driving force for cost growth in 2025
Basic design: Standard inscription layout and simple pattern design costs are within a certain range, suitable for economical tombstones.
Cultural theme design: The design service fee for incorporating cultural elements such as family history, family motto, poetry, etc. is within a certain range.
Cross disciplinary artistic design: The cost of artistic tombstone design in collaboration with sculptors and architects is at a relatively high level.
