Plinths are usually granite slabs 25mm-50mm thick. They can be used as a low cost option for a base where they are allowed. Also they may be used with a base to add height or additional levels.

...Granite Bases

Granite Bases are 75mm-100mm thick. Bases come in basically two options M5 splay or block. The splay base can give an additional writting surface although it is possible to inscribe on the block base. Small holes are put into the back of the base to allow dowells to allow stability when a headstone is placed up on it. Large holes are usually put at the front for Vase inserts.
