Our Personalised Memorial Plaque Collection
Choose from three core styles, each designed for simplicity and durability. All are personalised to order with your chosen name engraved up to 30 characters.
Slate Memorial Plaques with Custom Name Engraving
Slate carries a natural weight and dignity that suits a memorial perfectly. Our personalised memorials with name up to 25 characters slate plaques are laser-engraved with the name you provide, clean, permanent, and weather-resistant for outdoor use. Ideal for placing beside a headstone, staking into a garden border, or mounting on a memory wall. From £7.99.
Silver Memorial Plaques with Name
For a slightly more formal tribute, our silver-finish memorial plaques offer a polished, engraved look that suits both graves and indoor memorial spaces. The clean silver surface makes names and dates easy to read, even from a distance. From £8.99.
Prayer Book Style Grave Markers
Our tribute prayer-book grave markers are a thoughtful alternative to a flat plaque. Shaped like an open book and personalised with any name up to 30 characters, they sit beautifully at a graveside or in a garden of remembrance. From £13.99.

FAQs
What should I write on a personalised memorial plaque?
Keep it personal and honest. Most families choose a first name or full name, birth and death dates, and a short phrase such as ‘Always in our hearts.’ Aim for words that felt true to who they were, not just what sounds right. Name Up to 30 characters gives you enough space.
How do I personalise a memorial plaque with a name?
Select your chosen plaque, enter the name up to 30 characters, at checkout, and we engrave it before dispatch. No design files are needed. Just type the name as you’d like it to appear and we take care of everything else from our workshop in Scotland.
