Commemorate your loved one’s life
Memorials & plaques
A memorial or plaque is a permanent marker commemorating your loved one when people visit their grave or memorial. We refer you to Canterbury’s local monumental masons Decra Art, who can help you create a personalised monument that reflects your loved one.
Things to consider when planning a memorial
Here are a few things to consider before you visit the Monumental Mason.
- Know the cemetery or memorial garden rules on the size, material and design of headstones and plaques.
- Decide on your budget. Memorials and plaques can vary in price depending on material, manufacturing process, shape, and size.
- Consider aesthetics and durability when you choose the material for your monument. The material you choose will impact on how long the memorial will last.
- Consider your loved one’s style and taste. Were they a minimalist or a lover of kitsch and whimsy? Did they love classical forms or contemporary culture? This will help you choose the right monument for them.
- Consider your inscription. The size and shape of your memorial will influence how much text and illustration you can have.
