Question 1

How much does a memorial plaque cost?

Accepted Answer

Most slate grave plaques land between 45 and 120 euro depending on size, shape and whether a photograph is engraved. Small pet memorials start around 35 euro and large family plaques with photo work run to about 220 euro.

Question 2

What material lasts best outdoors in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Natural slate. It is dense, frost resistant and the engraved line stays white and legible for decades. Cast acrylic is UV stable and suits modern or coloured markers.

Question 3

Can you engrave a photograph onto the plaque?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send the clearest digital photo you have and we convert it for engraving, then show you a proof. Slate gives the best photographic contrast.

Question 4

Can you do a pet memorial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Heart, paw or rectangular slate with the name, dates and a portrait if you want one. Ground spikes are available for the garden.

Question 5

Will the cemetery allow the plaque I want?

Accepted Answer

Rules vary by burial ground, especially in lawn cemeteries. Check the size and fixing limits with the caretaker or local authority and we build to them.

Question 6

How is the plaque fixed in place?

Accepted Answer

Pre-drilled holes for masonry fixings, stainless standoffs for a wall, or steel ground spikes for a garden or grave surround.

Question 7

Can you set the wording in Irish?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the fada set correctly, and we can mix Irish and English on the one plaque.

Question 8

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Five to seven working days for most plaques once the proof is approved. Collect in Dublin 12 by appointment or we post anywhere in Ireland.
