Brass is the traditional material for memorial plaques. They can be scratch engraved or deep engraved with painted or unpainted letters.

If you have a particular layout in mind please send it to us as a sketch, bitmap image or a word document. We will re-create your design as closely as we can. If you email your artwork as an eps vector file we can use it as is. You can also use our Layout Tool

Holes can be drilled at no extra cost. Black or brass coverheads are available @ £3.50 for 4.

The main disadvantage with brass is that if you want it to stay shiny, it must be polished. It is not difficult to polish and for memorial plaquesis often seen as a meaningful task rather than a chore. For some useful tips see - Brass Cleaning.

Finding the right words for a memorial plaque can be difficult, so we have put together a page of Memorial Inscriptions

Lettering

For letters 10mm or larger, we offer deep engraving in a large range of fonts. These deep-engraved letters can be further enhanced with a paint infill, available in black, blue, green, orange, or red  at £4.50 per colour adding contrast and improved readability. Alternatively, for a more subtle effect, the letters can be left unpainted.

For smaller lettering, specifically those under 10mm, scratch engraving is a possibility. This technique produces fine, precise lines, ideal for intricate details, but is not as readable. Another options is to use one of a limited range of single line fonts - see below  The minimum letter size for scratch engraving or single line fonts is 5mm.

Price for both deep-engraved & scratch-engraved plaques includes the first 30 characters. Additional characters @ £4.00 per 30.
