Whether you want a full name, birth and death dates, or a name paired with a short phrase, this collection has been designed for exactly that purpose.

Our heart-shaped grave plaques are among the most popular styles for personalised tributes. Available in light-refractive finishes, butterfly motifs, and silver writing, each one is engraved to order with your chosen name upto 40 characters and dates. Weather-resistant and suited to UK gravesides, gardens, and outdoor memorial spaces. From £7.99.
The prayer book marker is a distinctive alternative to a flat plaque, shaped like an open book, finished in slate or black carbon, and engraved with up to 40 characters of inscription. These sit naturally at a graveside or garden of remembrance and are particularly suited to longer inscriptions that include both a name and a full set of dates. From £13.99.
For families who want a more prominent tribute, our large heart-shaped grave markers offer greater surface area for engraving. The additional space is ideal for full names with dates, or a name, dates, and a short memorial phrase within the 30-character limit. From £16.99.
Silver-finish plaques offer a clean, formal appearance that suits both graveside and indoor memorial settings. Crisp engraving on a silver background ensures names and dates remain clearly legible over time. A strong choice when the inscription needs to be easy to read from a distance. From £8.99.
Several larger retailers offer memorial plaques in the UK, some with broader material ranges, others focused on premium bespoke work at significantly higher price points. What separates Signs and Memorials is straightforward: 30 years of hands-on experience, honest prices, and an ordering process that doesn’t make grief harder than it already is.
Competitors such as The Metal Foundry and Brunel Engraving offer beautiful products, but typically at price points of £25–£80+, often with longer lead times and more complex ordering requirements. For families who need something meaningful, well-made, and quick to receive, Signs and Memorials consistently offer better value.
Browse the plaques in this category, choose the style that feels right, and enter your inscription, up to 40 characters including spaces, at checkout. That’s everything we need. No design software, no proofs to approve, no back-and-forth. We engrave to your specification and dispatch from Scotland.
The 40-character limit comfortably fits most combinations of name and date upto 50 characters and dates. For example: ‘James Robert Campbell 1942–2019’ has 30 characters. Adding ‘Forever in our hearts’ would require two lines, our prayer book and large heart styles accommodate this most naturally.
All outdoor plaques in this collection are finished to withstand the Scottish climate, frost, rain, and sun, without fading or lifting. No seasonal storage required.
Most families choose a first or full name, birth and death years, and a short phrase, such as ‘Forever in our hearts’ or ‘Loved and remembered always.’ Keep it honest and personal. Up to 40 characters gives you enough room for a name, dates, and a brief message.
