Memorialising loved ones is an age old tradition dating back to prehistoric times. Methods have changed over the millenia and will continue to change. What remains constant is the need to create something personalised and lasting to truly honour the departed. Recent trends are turning away from the tradition of leasing a cemetery plot marked with a heavy slab of granite.
Space and cost efficient methods like cremations and plaque memorialisations are becoming the new norm. This doesn’t mean personalisation or permanence need to be sacrificed, quite the opposite in fact. A bronze plaque will stand the test of time better than granite as it will not erode or weaken. Modern casting methods also allow intricate, beautiful designs to be accurately cast with the plaque as a whole.
The price will be based on the size of the plaque. We don’t charge extra for motifs, emblems, or lines of text. A ceramic or metal photo attachment or more than one background colour will cost extra, as will an image plaque (Afshar example).
A bronze memorial plaque speaks volumes even with a simple, elegant design. It says even more with a photo attachment or a few simple motifs. Whether it’s a favourite flower, animal, piece of clothing, activity or anything that your loved one held dear – why not make it a part of their lasting memory? We embrace the challenge of personalising and enjoy a good story. There is no extra charge for custom motifs.
Below are some samples of motifs that work well as they have strong, easily recognisable shapes.
A photo of a face with well defined features can even be used as a custom motif with a little editing. We can’t guarantee this will work well until we see the photo.
Many cemeteries will be specific about their plaque requirements, if you’re unsure of the dimensions required, we can check for you. Custom shapes are available but are more popular for take-home plaques. The shaped plaque will be charged as the smallest rectangle it can fit into.
Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but remembering them with a custom bronze plaque is a beautiful way to honour the love and joy they brought into your life. Whether placed in a garden, on a wall, or by their favourite resting spot, a bronze plaque offers a lasting tribute with timeless elegance. Each plaque can be personalised with your pet’s name, dates, and a heartfelt message—capturing their spirit forever in a way that feels both meaningful and comforting.
Bronze plaques aren’t just durable—they’re full of character, just like our furry friends. We take pride in crafting each one with care and detail, so it becomes more than just a memorial—it becomes a celebration of their unique personality. From playful pups to wise old cats, every pet leaves pawprints on our hearts, and we’re here to help you create a tribute that’s as special as they were.
