Memorial Tablets

Memorial tablets, memorial plaques, or commemorative plaques (we all have different names for them rather like headstones, gravestones, tombstones etc) tend to be either wall mounted, or in the case of cremation tablets, set into the ground.

As with any memorial stone, the client may demand a unique design with unusual stone lettering for a commemorative plaque. This certainly makes people stop and read, but is not for everyone. A simple classical memorial plaque is most likely to stand the test of time.

Cremation tablets are becoming increasingly popular as churchyard and cemetery space is limited. The standard size for a slate cremation tablet in English churchyards is 12" x 18" by 1" thick and 2" thick for a Portland stone tablet.

Further notes on the designing of memorial tablets can be found on the headstones page.
