Memorial Plaques to Commemorate and Remember

Memorial plaques – Regardless of the type of monument you select to remember your loved one, it will likely be finished with some inscription, epitaph and/or plaque.

Commemorative or memorial plaques can be attached to a columbarium wall, statue, grave or headstone or incorporated into the monument with the inscription engraved directly into the stone.

Not all memorial plaques are used in cemeteries and graves. A beautifully engraved plaque can decorate a garden, indicate the purpose of a public monument, name a building or even purely as a beautiful piece of art.
