What’s the difference between a headstone and a tombstone?
So, to sum up, historically, a “tombstone” was the stone placed on top of a stone coffin. A “gravestone” was a stone slab covering a grave.
“Headstones” were generally markers denoting a grave. Today, though, all of these terms indicate a marker placed at the head of a grave.
Can I buy my own headstone?

Memorial providers are especially experienced with grave markers of all styles, materials, shapes, and sizes.
