When searching for ways to commemorate a loved one, it’s important to get something that reflects them and the life they lived. From contemporary memorials to traditional memorial plaques, there are many to choose from. If you want to find the perfect way to remember someone, within your budget, here are the different types of memorial plaques you can choose.
Natural and traditional memorials
In the past, stone and wood were commonly used for memorial plaques as they were widely available and easy to carve. Some more elite families may have chosen precious metals to engrave memorials for members of the royal family or world leaders.
Natural wood
Natural wood plaques are a popular choice because they are traditional and elegant. They are also more eco-friendly so it is often the preferred material. The natural wood is carved and sealed with chemicals to save from weathering effects when used outdoors. You can customise the shape, size, background and font colours and styles.
Brass memorial plaques
Brass is commonly used and has been for centuries. Today, we use brushed brass plates with custom engraving where you can get different letters filled with different colours and engraved in different font styles.
Aluminium plaques
Aluminium is a great metal to provide a weatherproof memorial plaque in a variety of designs and shapes. Aluminium plaques can often be created in a variety of textures, colours and font styles to make it personal to your loved one.
Contemporary memorial plaques
Along with new technologies comes the ability to create superior materials for long-lasting memorial plaques.
Porcelain memorial plaques
Porcelain is a weather-resistant, sturdy and durable material with the flexibility to create a custom order. You can even add pictures and images to make the memorial more personal.
Crystal memorial plaques
Crystal is a beautiful material to create a custom memorial plaque. You can engrave this high-quality material with unique fonts and photos of loved ones. Laser engraving makes it easy to create stunning high-quality results.
Acrylic plaques
Acrylic is a contemporary memorial option offering a translucent material that offers a professional and clear look. Acrylic plaques are available in a wide variety of styles and sizes.
