Stone types and colours:

Granite

Increasingly common stone for headstones as it is fairly inexpensive and can weather well without fading and fits in with other headstones.

Marble

Not widely used for headstones, as most cemeteries don't allow it. It can suffer if there is excessive humidity/damp.

Limestone

The most common for headstones is Portland and Nabresina stone which both have a light appearance, similar to Marble.

Lettercutting and Fonts:

Roman style fonts are the most common, with italic used for general quotes and bible passages.
