Do the monument prices include a bronze plaque?
Yes, they do! With the exception of the "Estate Size" Monuments designed for larger plaques, all Memorial and Personal Monuments include a handsome custom bronze plaque (sized 3 1/2" x 7 1/4") which features your choice of up to six lines of text with as many as 43 characters each. Once the plaque is received from our bronze foundry, it is pre-installed on the monument before being shipped to its final destination.

How many words can I put on my bronze plaque?
Each 3 1/2" x 7 1/4" bronze plaque will accept a maximum of six lines (typically a name, date of birth-death, and special verse or quote). Although six lines are available, it's not necessary to use all lines if you prefer to have less text appear on the plaque. The maximum number of characters per line is 43 (each letter, number, space and punctuation is a character that should be counted in this per-line total). Remember, the more characters you want included on each line, the more the individual characters must be reduced in size for the final layout. Depending on how you order one of our monuments, you have the option of sending it using our online order form, submitting it by e-mail or by typing or clearly printing the final text you'd like to see on your plaque on a separate sheet of paper and faxing or mailing it to us for immediate processing. |
How do I order a plaque in a Pre-Need situation?
Many times your client would like to order a companion monument for him or herself after the spouse has passed. In this situation you can order the plaque with “scrolls” for the date of death for the surviving spouse. The scrolls are actually screw plates that can be removed and sent back to the Bronze Foundry at the time of death to be forged with that date. |
Can I purchase a larger bronze plaque than the standard size?
Yes, but keep in mind that there is a limited amount of space for larger plaques on all our monuments. Our staff will be able to help you choose the monument that has the appropriate amount of space for your plaque depending on its final size (usually as determined by the amount of text on the plaque). We will provide you with the additional cost for a larger plaque once we review the desired text and determine the plaque size needed. Our much larger "Estate Size" Monuments are ideal for oversize plaques popular with community organizations, civic clubs and corporations to recognize, honor or celebrate significant events or the lives of special individuals or groups. Just as realistic, but easier to place than heavy natural boulders that require expensive equipment to install them, "Estate Size" Monuments can be shipped anywhere and provide an attractive accent to any landscape when placed outdoors in a community plaza, a public park, in front of a landmark or corporate office, or at a cemetery or cremation garden. |
