Why Choose Granite for Memorials?
Granite is a hard, durable stone perfect for engraving plaques and photos for outdoor display. We recommend granite for laser engraved pet memorials and particularly our granite memorial headstones. Granite is a perfect substrate that accepts photo engraving well for an extra special gift or memorial
Granite is one of nature’s toughest stones, making it ideal for enduring tributes. It resists weathering, maintains its polished finish, and holds fine laser-engraved detail—ensuring your memorial looks as beautiful years from now as it does today.

Frequently Asked Questions – Engraved Granite Plaques
What materials are used for these plaques?
All plaques in this collection are made from premium black granite. Granite is an ideal choice for outdoor memorials because it is highly durable, weather-resistant, and retains the fine detail of laser engraving over time.
Can I add a photo to my granite plaque?
Yes. You can upload a high-quality photo during the ordering process. We recommend submitting the original, unedited image for the best engraving quality. Our team will handle cropping and adjustments for optimal results.
How should I prepare my photo for engraving?
Use the original photo taken by your phone or camera—avoid screenshots or downloaded images from social media, as these are often low resolution. Scanned printed photos should be scanned at 300 DPI or higher. If we encounter any issues with your image, we’ll contact you.
Will I see a proof before the engraving is done?
Yes. Once we receive your order and photo, we will send you a design proof to review and approve before we begin engraving. Be sure to check your email (including spam folders) to avoid delays.
How long does it take to make and ship my plaque?
After you approve your proof, your custom granite plaque will be engraved and ready to ship within 1–2 business days. Shipping within the U.S. typically takes 3–5 business days, depending on your location.
What if my plaque arrives damaged?
If your order arrives damaged or with a defect, please contact us right away. We’ll make a new engraved plaque and ship it to you as quickly as possible.
Can I return a custom granite plaque?
Because each plaque is custom-made, returns are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re not satisfied, contact us directly—we’re committed to making it right.
Where can these granite plaques be displayed?
Our granite plaques are suitable for outdoor or indoor use. They can be placed in gardens, near headstones, or on display inside the home. Many styles also include stakes or easels for versatile display options.
How durable is the engraving over time?
Laser engraving on granite is permanent. It won’t fade, peel, or wear away. Your memorial will remain legible and beautiful for years, even when exposed to outdoor elements.
