Wholesale Granite Flat Markers & Blanks
Boda Stone supplies wholesale granite flat markers and blank markers for US and Canadian monument dealers, importers, and memorial trade buyers. Send the length, width, thickness, granite, edge treatment, lettering scope, vase or pin-hole details, quantity, and destination. Production, packing, and loading are confirmed only after the cemetery specification and buyer-approved drawing are reviewed. For mixed blank programs across upright, slant, bevel and flat forms, review our wholesale granite headstone blanks.
B2B boundary: for monument dealers, importers, distributors, and memorial trade buyers. The buyer confirms cemetery acceptance, foundation or setting method, and local installation.
Blank or Lettered Flat Marker Planning
Single and companion markers can be quoted as blanks or with buyer-approved lettering and artwork.
| Specification | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Order state | Blank for local lettering, or factory-lettered from an approved proof. State whether portraits, emblems, lithochrome or bronze attachments are included. |
| Single references | Common RFQ references include 24 × 12 × 4, 24 × 14 × 4 and 28 × 16 × 4 inches. Cemetery rules, not this list, control the final size. |
| Companion references | Common RFQ references include 36 × 12 × 4, 42 × 14 × 4 and 48 × 14 × 4 inches; confirm grave-space and foundation limits. |
| Edges and faces | Polished top with sawn, steeled, eased, chamfered or rock-pitched sides and edges as shown on the finish map. |
| Holes and hardware | Vase core, pin or bronze attachment holes require diameter, depth, centerline and orientation on the approved drawing. |
| Granite and lettering | Stone availability, color range and suitability for sandblast or laser work are reviewed for the selected material and artwork. |
| Packing | Finished faces are separated and supported in export crates; personalized pieces use proof-linked marks and a crate list. |
| MOQ and timing | Confirmed after sizes, quantities, total weight, personalization scope, approvals and loading feasibility are known. |
Marker Production Controls
- • Dimensions, flatness and finish checked against the approved drawing
- • Lettering or etching checked against the signed proof
- • Hole locations checked from defined datums
- • Polished faces separated and protected for export
- • Piece marks linked to the packing list for personalized orders
Cemetery and Material Variables
- • Flush height, mower clearance and foundation rules vary by cemetery section
- • Natural granite shade and grain cannot be made perfectly identical
- • Not every granite or artwork produces the same laser or sandblast contrast
- • Hole placement must match the buyer's hardware system
- • LCL economics depend on shipment weight, crate count and destination charges
Agree the Evidence Package Before Production
For repeatable dealer orders, define the records required at drawing approval instead of assuming every order uses the same inspection package.
Drawing to finished stone
Approve front, side and plan views, dimensions, finish callouts, artwork and piece marks.
Measurement and QC
Agree checks for dimensions, color lot, surface condition, carving, lettering and component fit.
Crates and loading
Confirm face protection, component separation, crate marks, packing list and loading plan.

Wholesale Flat Marker FAQ
- Can flat markers be supplied blank for local lettering?
- Yes. State that the markers are blank and specify the granite, face and edge finishes, size, quantity, and any vase, pin or bronze attachment holes.
- What is the difference between single and companion flat markers?
- The terms describe the intended grave coverage and inscription layout, not one universal size. Send the cemetery-approved length, width, thickness, foundation and vase requirements for each program.
- Which hole details belong on the drawing?
- Show hole type, diameter, depth, centerline dimensions, orientation and the hardware or vase system it must match. Do not rely on a written note such as “standard vase hole.”
- Can factory-lettered and blank markers share a shipment?
- Yes, subject to loading review. Personalized stones should be linked to approved proofs and piece marks, while blanks should be identified separately on the packing list.
- How are polished flat markers protected for ocean shipment?
- Finished faces are separated from neighboring stone, supported inside the crate and linked to the crate list. The exact separator, support and stacking arrangement depends on size, thickness and weight.
