Every person leaves behind a story. An adult tombstone is the lasting marker of that story – a place where family can gather, remember, and feel close to someone who shaped their lives.
At Mkhonto Tombstones, we manufacture adult tombstones that are built to stand with dignity for generations. From a traditional single upright headstone to a grand double memorial for a couple, we offer a full range of styles, granite finishes, and engraving options to help you create a tribute that truly reflects who your loved one was.
Our Adult Tombstone Range
Single Adult Tombstones
A single tombstone is designed for one grave and is the most commonly requested adult memorial in South Africa. It is simple, dignified, and fully customisable.
Double Adult Tombstones
A double tombstone spans two graves and is a popular choice for married couples or two family members buried side by side. It creates a unified memorial that honours two lives together.
Premium and Custom Adult Tombstones
For families with a specific vision, our custom service allows you to design a memorial with no limitations. Unique shapes, sculptural elements, combination materials, and bespoke layouts are all possible.
What Affects the Price of an Adult Tombstone
The cost of an adult tombstone depends on several factors working together. Granite type and quality play the largest role, with premium or imported stone costing more than standard options. Size matters significantly – a double tombstone or a large upright design will cost more than a single compact memorial. The complexity of your engraving, whether you are including a portrait, ceramic photo, or detailed artwork, will also affect the price. Custom designs with unique shapes or sculptural elements take more manufacturing time. Finally, your cemetery location and any specific ground or foundation requirements can influence installation costs.
We always provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what each element costs before you commit.
