I tend to agree about double headstones erected while one spouse is still living.
I asked my MIL about this and she told me that when she erected the stone for Husband #1 the cost was $2500 for a single headstone and $2700 for a double, so it made sense to buy the double.

My paternal family has 2 family association cemeteries. We don’t erect headstones for individuals, instead there is a large stone for the family plot with the family name at top, and married last names below. Each individual has a foot-stone with their individual information.

My parents are buried in a family cemetery on my mother’s side. They only have flat in ground individual bronze foot markers. This eliminates the vandalism of overturned stones and makes mowing the grass easier.
