Bronze plaques

A bronze plaque is a plaque cast in a sand mould and made from molten bronze. The plaque is painted with background colour and the surface of the plaque containing the inscription is ground with a machine designed to bring up the metallic bronze colour of the raised inscription. A clear protective layer of paint is applied to the plaque and then the plaque is baked to harden this protective layer and ensures a durable and long-lasting plaque.

We offer a variety of bronze plaque options to suit your individuals needs with different options to personalise each plaque such as adding emblems, borders, and background colours.

All plaques are personalised however most plaques will contain a combination of the following:

1. An opening or introduction, “In Loving memory of”, or “Dedicated to the memory of”
2. The name of the deceased person or people and who they were known as, “In Loving Memory of, Robert “Bob” Walton” or Roberta Walton (née Smith).
3. The date that the person was born and died or their age.
4. Their family relationships, “Dearly loved Husband of”, “Cherished Grandfather and Great-Grandfather to all his Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren”.
5. A personal message, quotation, prayer, poem or phrase that is meaningful to the person. This could be a saying they were well known for, something that summarises their personality or beliefs, or even a bible verse or famous inspirational quote.
6. A summary or end line. This is like a final word of sentiment showing love or respect for the deceased.  Examples such as “Forever in our Hearts”, “Resting with Angels”, “Gone but never forgotten”, etc.
7. Decorative elements.These can be a ceramic photo, a decorative border or other meaningful graphics and symbols such as flowers or hobbies. Please request the link to view full symbol catalogue with your enquiry.
