Memorial plaques cast to last for generations

A bronze memorial plaque is the most permanent way to mark a life. Every plaque is cast as a single solid piece of LG2 statuary bronze, the same grade used for cemetery markers and public monuments, then hand finished so the raised lettering and emblems shine against a dark textured background. It does not chip, fade or crack the way engraved stone can, and it needs nothing more than an occasional wipe.

Families use them on grave markers and headstones, on memorial benches and garden boulders, on trees planted in memory, and on church, school and club walls. Whatever the setting, the plaque is made to your size and mounted with fixings chosen for that surface.

What you can personalise

• Size and shape: from small name plates to large companion plaques, rectangular, oval or custom shapes.
• Inscription: names, dates, an epitaph or a verse, in classic serif, script or modern lettering, all raised and polished.
• Emblems and motifs: flowers, doves, crosses, military and fraternal emblems, hobbies, pets and more than a thousand designs.
• Photos: add a ceramic photo tile or an integrated bronze portrait.
• Border and finish: single, double or decorative borders with a dark brown, black or antique background.

Bronze memorial plaques for graves

Grave plaques are our most common order. Most lawn cemeteries require a flush bronze marker of a set size on a granite base, and every cemetery has its own rules, so check with the office and send us the specification. We match the size, fastening and base so the plaque is accepted first time. Read more on our bronze grave markers page and in the grave marker guide.
