Are granite headstones stronger than marble headstones?

Yes, granite headstones are generally stronger and more durable than marble headstones. Granite is an igneous rock that withstands weathering and erosion better, making it less prone to chipping and fading over time. In contrast, marble is a metamorphic rock that, while beautiful, can be more susceptible to staining and wear. As a result, granite is often preferred for its longevity and resistance to the elements.
