Flat "grass"  or "foot" markers are generally 4" thick and set flush with the ground.

Beveled (also called "hickeys" or "pillows")  These are not very high above the ground, with the back of the stone being a few inches taller than the front. 

Slant Markers  - these stand typically 16" above the ground with the back of the stone straight vertical, and the front sloping at a 45 degree angle.  Slant markers can be set on a concrete foundation or on a matching granite base. 

Traditional Upright - These are a two piece memorial consisting of a die that can be 6", 8" or 10" thick that goes on a base which is then placed on a concrete foundation or a granite cap.  These come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes.
