Companion & Double Headstones

Companion memorials honor two loved ones side by side — spouses, partners, siblings — with a shared stone, a unified base or paired designs. Nearly every memorial form can become a companion memorial, from wide flat markers to shared uprights, benches and ledgers.

Two lives, one memorial

A companion memorial may share one stone with both names, join two tablets on a single base, or pair matching markers side by side. Many families create the memorial when the first loved one passes, leaving space for the second inscription to be added later — something we plan for from the start. Shared artwork such as interlocking rings, doves or roses can quietly express the bond.
