Slate & Granite Memorial Plaques

Slate and granite are ideal for memorial plaques as they are natural yet hard-wearing materials. All of our memorials are available with a variety of fixing options to suit your requirements. Whether you require having pre-drilled holes and fixings supplied to place on a wall, or an un-drilled piece of stone to sit freely in your garden, you can choose your preference before you purchase your sign. We can also supply wooden posts if required too, just select the style of plaque from our product options before proceeding to personalise that sign.

What do memorial plaques say?

A memorial plaque should be personalised and meaningful, often citing words such as In Memory of, In Memoriam, in Remembrance of, Rest In Peace. They often include a name, as well as a date or dates for the person, pet or memory it is remembering.

    Memorial plaques can be used for many different things, such as to remember a loved one who has passed, to mark a grave for our beloved pets, or to commemorate an event such as planting an important tree.

  • What are your lead times for a memorial?

    Our plaques and signs are handmade, with our average lead time being around 2-3 weeks from the date you place your order. During peak periods such as the Christmas holidays this can be slightly longer.
