Customs bronze plaque

All of our personal and memorial monuments wholesale price includes a handsome 2.5-lb. bronze plaque (sized 3 1/2" x 7 1/4"). Included in the price is up to six lines of text on the plaque which is pre-installed on the monument before being shipped.

Our standard bronze plaque size will accept a maximum of six lines based on the layout example below (name, date of birth-death, and special verses or quotes). 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). Important--As seen in our examples, the more characters you want included on each line, the more the individual characters are reduced in size.

Anti theft metal Eyelet

Although not seen by most as a necessity, for additional security of the monument itself, a heavy anti-theft metal eyelet is manufactured into each model.  To utilize it, first purchase an inexpensive lock and small two-foot section of chain. Then simply excavate a hole directly below where the monument will be placed, lock one end of the chain onto the metal eyelet under the monument, pour quick-drying cement into the hole and push the chain slack into the slurry where it can harden.

Internal, moisture-resistant, 240 cubic-inch urn

Our Cremation Garden monuments include an internal 240 cubic-inch, moisture-proof urn to hold human or pet cremated remains or can be ordered as a Personal Monument (without the internal cremains urn). Personal Monuments can fittingly memorialize loved ones that have been cremated, but whose ashes have been scattered.

An alternate installation system for the monuments in cremation gardens and nature trails is to position them above individual in-ground, 1,872-cubic-inch concrete vaults which can accommodate cremains and keepsakes (a special fixture manufactured under the replications allows a rod to be threaded through the lid of the vault into the monument so they can be tightened together to form a single unit).
