Choosing the right material for a memorial plaque matters — it affects how it looks, how it weathers and how long it lasts. Here’s a clear guide to memorial plaque materials.
Acrylic
Modern, lightweight and weather-resistant, quality acrylic keeps photographs and colour vivid and sharp. Our hand-finished acrylic QR plaques are designed to last outdoors.
Metal
Brass, bronze and aluminium are traditional and durable, though some metals weather or need occasional polishing to stay bright.
Stone & slate
Classic and natural, stone and slate suit gardens and graves beautifully, but photographs and fine detail can be harder to reproduce on them.
Which is right for you?
If you want a clear photograph, vivid detail and a QR code linking to a full online tribute, acrylic is hard to beat. Explore our range to see for yourself.
