Wooden Memorial Plaques

Our wooden plaques are the perfect blend of elegance and natural beauty. Crafted from high-quality wood, they exude a warm, organic charm that feels more personal and inviting than formal engraved brass. Each plaque is carefully engraved using a precision laser, ensuring that every letter and image is burnt into the wood with exceptional detail and durability.

To make your memorial plaque truly meaningful, we’ve created a dedicated page of Memorial Inscriptions to help you find the right words to honour your loved one.

Along with your wooden memorial plaque we gave a good selection of posts and tree stakes, the simplest being a wrought iron spike @ £21.95.

Lettering
Choose from any of our fonts for your wooden plaque. Up to 50 characters are included in the price. On larger plaques you might want to consider paint fill @ £8.50

Timbers
The wooden plaques can be made in Oak, Opepe, Douglas Fir or Iroko. Oak is a very beautiful timber and exceptionally durable but does need to be maintained to stop it darkening. Iroko and Opepe have a high oil content and are naturally resistant to rot, fungal attack, and insect infestation. They can even be left untreated.

The Douglas Fir is thicker so ideal for larger memorials. It is very durable and will last for years with little maintenance.

Which woods are available for wooden memorial plaques?

Iroko and opepe are naturally oily, durable timbers that can be left untreated. Oak needs maintenance to help prevent darkening. Douglas fir is another durable option requiring little maintenance.

We use a precision laser to burn your wording directly into the wood, allowing fine detail and smaller lettering.

Can I choose my own wording and font?

Yes. Choose your inscription and a font from our selection. Up to 50 characters are included in the plaque price.

Can the engraved lettering be painted?

Yes. Paint-filled lettering is available and is worth considering for larger plaques.

Can I add a picture or photograph?

Choose from our library images or send your own artwork for assessment. Photographs need good contrast for successful laser engraving. Additional charges apply.
