Engraved Memorial Plaques
At The Sign Maker, we offer a variety of materials for our engraved memorial plaques. Brass, the traditional choice for memorials and signs, provides a classic look but requires some maintenance. For a lower-maintenance option, we offer exterior-grade flexible acrylic, which is weatherproof and UV resistant, as well as stainless steel, known for its durability and long-lasting qualities. Each material has its own unique appearance, and by exploring our options, you're sure to find something that suits your needs.
These plaques can be used for a range of purposes, including bench plaques, grave markers, or even as simple memorial plaques mounted on tree stakes.
Slate, Limestone & Granite Memorials
At The Sign Maker, we offer a fantastic range of stone memorials. From granite and slate memorial wedges to limestone plaques, we provide options that allow you to honour your loved one meaningfully. Our selection includes slate, granite, and other stone memorials, memorial tablets, and wedges. We offer a large range of slate and granite in various sizes, thicknesses, and colours. Our skilled craftsmen & designers work closely with you to create a high-quality stone memorial exactly as you envision.
Wooden Memorials
Pieces crafted from wood have a natural softness and warmth, regardless of the timber used. This is what makes wood such an excellent choice for a high-quality memorial - something that feels personal, timeless, and respectful.
All of our wooden memorials are made to order in our workshops and can be produced to any size required, whether you are looking for a small plaque or a larger commemorative piece. They can be supplied with or without posts, making them suitable for wall mounting, garden placement, or installation in open spaces.
We can personalise every memorial through thoughtful design, carefully chosen lettering, and a range of finishes including painted or natural wood. Over the years, we have created many truly special pieces - each one crafted with care and made to honour a life in a meaningful and lasting way.
Metal Memorial Plaques
Many of our metal memorial pieces have a traditional feel about them. Often used for war memorials or for businesses honouring someone on their site, we pride ourselves on the high-quality finish that we achieve on these memorial plaques.
Crafted with everything from brass and bronze to aluminium and stainless steel, we have a variety of different metal memorials for you to choose from - each with its own unique qualities. There is a huge amount of variety for you to select from in terms of the design of your memorial. We have a wide range of fonts and additional images, which all enable you to tailor a memorial to work for you.
Photo Memorial Plaques
In the last few years, including a photo on a plaque has become increasingly popular. Seeing the person or a beloved pet on the plaque certainly makes the plaque extra special. On this page, we have listed the various options available to you. All are designed to be used outdoors or indoors.
The full-colour options resist fading, but you can extend their lifespan even more by placing them out of the strongest sunlight. The etched memorials do not fade, so they could be the best option in certain situations. If you need help choosing your photo memorial, don't hesitate to call us. In addition, photo plaques can be inserted into other materials.
Grave Markers & Plot Markers
At The Sign Maker, we offer a range of beautifully crafted grave markers to suit various preferences and styles. Our selection includes traditional wooden crosses, durable hardwood plot markers, and engraved plaques mounted on elegant wrought iron tree stakes. For a more rustic option, we also provide wooden plaques set on sturdy posts. Each grave marker is thoughtfully designed and made from high-quality materials.
More Bespoke Memorials
This collection includes heart-shaped memorials, bronze memorial plaques, wooden ashes caskets, granite and slate memorial wedges, Corian crosses, pet memorials, war memorials and full-colour memorials. We can also create memorials for children and bespoke designs for graves, gardens, woodland burial grounds and other special places.
Depending on the design, memorials can be made from materials including natural stone, slate, granite, Corian, bronze, brass, stainless steel and hardwoods. Lettering can be engraved, carved, cast or printed, with the option to include photographs, motifs, emblems, crests and other personalised artwork.
Many of these memorials can be adapted in size, shape, material and design. If you have something particular in mind, our experienced team will be happy to work with your ideas to create a truly individual memorial.
Wooden Ashes Caskets - With or Without Memorial Plaque
Our wooden caskets and urns are specially designed to hold cremated ashes and are beautifully crafted from solid oak or mahogany. They can be supplied plain, with a traditional memorial plaque, with a laser engraved top, or with wording, decorative artwork and full-colour photographs UV printed directly onto the wood.
Memorial plaques are available in brass, coloured aluminium or acrylic laminate. A laser engraved top offers a subtle, traditional finish cut directly into the wood, while UV printing allows for crisp lettering, detailed artwork and full-colour photographs to be printed straight onto the casket.
These wooden caskets are ideal for keeping the ashes of a loved one at home, but they can also be used for burial in a cemetery or memorial garden. For natural burial grounds, our carpenters can make caskets without metal fittings if required.
The lids are permanently fixed for security, with the ashes placed into the casket through a discreet opening in the base.
Engraved Wooden Crosses
Crafted with classic Oak, or Iroko - similar to teak, these memorial signs stand out for all the right reasons and would honour the life and legacy of someone perfectly. Handcrafted in four different sizes, these crosses make for simple yet beautiful memorial pieces. The lettering and images of your choosing can be lasered directly into the wood or onto a plate which is then mounted onto the cross - both options, though different, deliver the same quality appearance.
At The Sign Maker, we can also have painted hardwood crosses, delivering a memorial that may feel a little more personal to you or in line with the vision that you had. We always strive to meet and exceed your expectations with all of our signage and memorials, the memorial crosses being no exception.
