Photo engraving & lettering
Personal touches for a lasting tribute.
Photo engraving
We can engrave a photo of your choice on to the memorial to commemorate a loved one. This can be of your preferred shape and size. It can be a photograph in black and white or coloured, or a scanned image you have.
We also have an extensive range of different motifs for you to choose from.
Types of lettering
- Cut & painted: letters cut into the stone and painted or gilded as required
- Raised lettering: everlasting, as the background is removed leaving the letters raised within a panel
- Raised lead substitute: letters stand proud of the stone, most commonly used on granite
- Cut & lead substitute: a flush finish, commonly used on marble and limestone
When choosing a colour to go with your choice of material it is worth bearing in mind that light colours do not stand out on light materials, and the same applies for dark colours on dark materials.
