Inscriptions & Lettering

The inscription on a memorial is entirely your choice. It is important to balance the wording with the size and style of the memorial so that thoughts and feelings are clearly and respectfully expressed.

We are happy to assist with:

  • Choosing appropriate wording
  • Advising on inscription length
  • Selecting lettering styles and finishes
  • Laying out inscriptions for clarity and balance

Below are examples of commonly used phrases, verses, and lettering styles. These are provided as guidance only, and inscriptions can be personalised to suit individual wishes.
