Wooden Memorial Crosses,
Wooden Cross for Graves

Wooden crosses hand made in Oak, Iroko, Opepe or Painted Sapele

We make our wooden crosses in six sizes. Normally oak is used but they could be make in different woods - iroko, opepe or painted sapele.

The lettering can be engraved directly into the wood or you can mount an engraved plaque onto the cross. The Oak is normally finished using our long lasting satin varnish wheras Iroko and Opepe are finished with Devon Oil.

The hardwood - Sapele is painted using tough two pack paints before the lettering is lasered and oiled. White is usually the colour chosen but other colors can be used.

We can supply with a square end for wall mounting or a stake end for ground fixing. Another option is to add a stainless steel bar which holds the wooden cross just above the ground surface - see below.

Large Celtic Cross
This is an unusual memorial cross created by laminating timber planks in opposite directions (for strength) before cutting out the shape and lasering the text and images. The cross size is 496mm x 850mm Cost - £340 (includes images) P&P - L As an optional extra the wrought iron support - see below - works well with this cross.

Lettering
We have a large selection of fonts to choose from - click here. Up to 50 characters are included in the price. Extra characters £4.00 per 50. The lettering is normally left unpainted as the laser burns into the wood. However we can paint larger letters black for an extra £8.50. Another alternative is to paint the cross and then laser in the lettering which will be dark in colour.

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

The cross on the upper right has a bronze heart shapped plaque attached. We can also add a full colour porcelain photo.

The cross to the right was made to order. It is a heavy duty cross with angled sides on a double plinth with wrought iron ground spikes. (ref 1503.LW.042)
