Designed by the company's Peter Saville and Ben Kelly in collaboration with Paul Barnes and Matt Robertson, the stone has been placed at the Southern Cemetery in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, Manchester.
It reads: "Anthony H Wilson. Broadcaster. Cultural Catalyst. 1950-2007."
According to Creative Review, the headstone also features a quote chosen by Wilson's family from Mrs G Linnaeus Banks's 1876 novel The Manchester Man.
The chosen quote reads: "Mutability is the epitaph of worlds. Change alone is changeless. People drop out of the history of life as of a land, though their work or their influence remains."
Saville was famed for the many album and single sleeves he designed for Factory Records. Kelly designed the interior of The Haçienda nightclub, including its black and yellow diagonal 'hazard' stripes.
Wilson's coffin received the final FAC catalogue number, being marked FAC 501.
