The Sign Maker For The Very Best In Bespoke Memorials - Bronzes, Pet Memorials, War Memorials, Crosses And Caskets...
Bespoke Memorials for Graves, Gardens
and Special Places
Our bespoke memorials are created for customers looking for something a little different from a traditional memorial plaque. Every memorial can be personalised to create a fitting and lasting tribute to a much-loved person or pet.
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 options for motifs, photographs, emblems, crests and other personalised artwork.
For larger commemorative projects, including war memorials and public memorials, we can work with councils, organisations, churches, clubs and community groups to develop a design suited to the location and purpose. These can incorporate engraved or cast plaques, stonework, crests, logos and detailed inscriptions.
Because these memorials are often highly personal, many are made completely to order. If you have an idea, photograph, sketch or simply know the type of tribute you would like to create, our experienced team will be happy to discuss the possibilities and help develop a suitable design.
War Memorials
We can make a war memorial in any of the materials we use. The cast bronze is superb, very long lasting but the most expensive. For smaller plaques, the hand paint zinc with raised letters is somewhat similar, again very long-lasting and very effective. Brass plaques are still very popular, with the 3 mm option being the most appropriate. Engraved stone-like corian is more often used than stone itself as we can engrave with more detail than is possible with real stone. New to the scene of war memorials are the engraved wooden tablets. The plaque in the image was made from Cast Polyurethane.
