Granite Memorial Plaques and Tablets
Granite is a very hard stone which looks amazing when highly polished. It is perfect for long lasting memorial tablets.
We have a range of 10mm black granite tablets with polished tops and sides. These are ideal when the larger memorials would not be appropriate. They can also be used with wrought iron tree stake. These have a metal fixing plate plus one or two spikes depending on size.
The text is normally deep engraved and paint filled. However where the is a larger amount impact engraving or laser engraving is possible. Our designer will advise.
The small 100mm granite can be used in combination with other materials. For example an engraved granite photo could be used in a slate or wood memorial tablet.
Silver, gold, white and grey are
the most popular paint colours.
We have many sizes of tree
stakes and plaque holders

The Lettering
We can engrave the lettering in a variety of fonts - click here.
For small lettering down to 12mm it is best to choose simple fonts such as Bookman Old Style, Eurostyle, Goudy Old Style and Gill Sans. The best font is Arial which can be deep engraved as small as 10mm. (Approx 13 letters per 100mm)
Lots of choice with paint colours with black, white, gold and silver being the most popular. We can paint the lettering or indeed the images in more than one colours. Cost £15 per extra colour.
Finding the right words for a memorial plaque can be difficult, so we have put together a page of Memorial Inscriptions
Very Small Lettering
For very small lettering, we can use the impact engraver. This method isn’t as crisp or defined as deep engraving, but it’s a useful option when the plaque can’t be made any larger.
In the Terry Stuart example, “Terry Stuart Dawson ‘The Legend’” was deep engraved for maximum clarity, while the remaining text was completed with impact engraving.
Cost of extra letters over 25 is 15p per letter
Photos Onto Granite
It is also possible to create a photo directly onto the black granites using our impact engraver The better the photo the better the result.. The cost for adding a photo directly onto the granite is £34.50.
If there are no words on the granite this is discounted to £24.50.
Other Images
We can include images on the memorials and memorial plaques. For images which are to be sand-blasted and painted choose bold images - we can't sand-blast very fine lines. For small or detailed images we can use the impact engraver which is a revolutionary technique using a diamond tipped needle to hit the granite and create the image. The engraving is not deep but can still be painted black, white, silver or gold. Another option is to sandblast out a panel, paint it and then laser etch the detail. This method works very well for crests and badges.
