Granite Memorial Plaque – A Lasting Tribute in Stone
When space on an existing headstone is limited, or you wish to add a dedicated memorial element, our granite memorial plaque in the 30×20 cm format is the most popular solution. Discreet yet spacious enough to carry a name, dates, and a short epitaph, it combines timeless elegance with the legendary durability of natural stone.
Granite is one of the hardest natural materials on earth. Its dense crystalline structure does not absorb water, making it fully frost-resistant and impervious to acid rain, UV radiation and mechanical damage — all without any maintenance.

Material and Craftsmanship — Why Granite?
Every plaque is crafted from first-grade natural granite blocks. The stone's crystalline structure does not absorb water, meaning it remains fully frost-resistant even at temperatures as low as –30°C. The mirror-polished surface repels moss and dirt, and maintenance is as simple as wiping with a damp cloth a few times a year.
Inscriptions are executed using deep sandblasting (minimum 3 mm depth), ensuring the lettering is clearly legible from several metres away. We then apply UV-resistant paint — white or gold — that will not fade for decades. The contrast of black granite with light lettering is unmatched by any other material.
Where and How Is the Plaque Used?
The 30×20 cm format is versatile and suits many purposes:
- Additional inscription plate on an existing family monument when space runs out
- Urn plaque for a columbarium niche or urn plot
- Standalone memorial for a child's or pet's grave
- Commemorative plaque on a chapel wall or cemetery boundary
🛠️ How to Install a Granite Memorial Plaque
- Prepare the surface: Clean and dry the headstone in the area where the plaque will be mounted. Remove dust, moss and any residue of old adhesive.
- Apply stone silicone: Use neutral stone silicone (never acetic — acid damages the polish). Apply silicone dots at the four corners and in the centre of the plaque.
- Press and align: Place the plaque on the headstone and press evenly for approximately 60 seconds. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight.
- Curing time: Silicone cures fully after approximately 24 hours. Do not move or load the plaque during this period.
- Alternative for columbaria: Specialist stone mounting tape is ideal for urn niches — fast, clean and equally permanent.
Personalisation — What Can Be Included?
The 30×20 cm format accommodates all standard memorial elements:
- First and last name (1–2 persons)
- Dates of birth and death
- Epitaph or verse (up to 2 lines)
- Symbol (cross, rose, branch, heart — included free)
- Ceramic or porcelain photo (on request, surcharge applies)
Before production begins, we send a free digital visualisation for your approval. We never start manufacturing without your confirmation — you have 100% confidence that the plaque will look exactly as you envisioned.

❓ Can I install the plaque myself?
Yes, installation is straightforward and requires no specialist tools. Use neutral stone silicone or stone mounting tape. Clean and degrease both surfaces, apply silicone dots, press for one minute, and leave for 24 hours to cure. No masonry experience required.
❓ How many characters fit on a 30×20 cm plaque?
The 30×20 cm format comfortably accommodates the details of 1–2 persons (name, dates) and a short epitaph (1–2 lines). For longer names or more data, we recommend the 40×30 cm format. Font size is chosen individually, and the free visualisation ensures the inscription will be legible and aesthetically pleasing.
❓ Is the plaque frost-resistant?
Yes, natural granite is fully frost-resistant. Its dense crystalline structure does not absorb water and will not crack even at –30°C. No impregnation or winter protection is required.
❓ How long does production and delivery take?
Standard production time is 5–10 working days from approval of the visualisation. With express service (surcharge), we can reduce this to 3 working days. The plaque is shipped by courier in double-wall cardboard with foam inserts for safe transit.
❓ Can I order a custom size?
Yes, while 30×20 cm is our standard compact format, we manufacture plaques to any custom dimension — from small 15×10 cm pieces up to large 60×40 cm memorials. Provide your measurements when ordering and we will quote individually.
❓ Can a photo be added to the plaque?
Yes, we offer ceramic and porcelain photo inserts that are UV-resistant, frost-proof and acid-proof. The photo can be set flush into the stone surface or mounted on top. Please specify your preference when ordering.
❓ Which granite colour should I choose?
For the highest inscription contrast, we always recommend black granite — white or gold lettering stands out clearly even from a distance. We also offer Orion (blue-grey) and Kuru Grey (warm beige). The best choice depends on the colour of the main headstone; send us a photo and we will advise.
❓ What symbols can be engraved on the plaque?
We offer a wide selection of ornamental motifs at no extra charge, including crosses, roses, oak branches, hearts and religious symbols from various faiths. Simply indicate your preferred motif when placing your order and we will include it in the free visualisation.
