Wooden Memorial Plaques

This is the category we take the most care with, for obvious reasons. A memorial plaque usually only gets made once, there's no room for getting a name or a date wrong, and the person ordering it is often doing so during a genuinely difficult time. We try to make the process itself as gentle and unhurried as the result deserves, using durable Australian hardwood such as Spotted Gum or Red Ironbark Eucalyptus for plaques that will stay outdoors long-term.

What we offer

• Photo engraving directly into the timber, alongside names, dates and a short tribute or verse

• Personalised plaques for people and for pets — sized for a grave site, a garden bed, a tree, or to be kept indoors as a keepsake

• Weatherproofing for anything that will sit outdoors permanently, exposed to the elements at a memorial site

• A free design draft sent for approval before anything is engraved — particularly important here, where there's no opportunity to simply reorder if something's slightly off

Popular for

Graveside and memorial garden placement, tribute plaques kept at home, and pet memorials — a category we're asked for surprisingly often, and treat with exactly the same care as a plaque for a person.

No rush, no pressure

If you need time to get the wording right, take it — we're not going to chase you for a faster decision on something like this. When you're ready, we'll talk you through wording, size and finish, and send a draft before anything is final.
