Every portrait begins with your photo.
A PHOTO THAT FEELS LIKE THEM

Start with the familiar.

There is no need to have every word ready. Start with a photograph and a name. An informal picture can capture someone beautifully; tell us what you especially love about it.

Choosing your photograph

A photo memorial plaque for a loved one

Begin with a familiar photograph

A relaxed smile can be more meaningful than a formal portrait. If the person is in a group photograph, send the original rather than a small cropped screenshot. We can assess whether the face has enough detail and show the proposed portrait in the free sketch.

Names, dates and a dedication

Use a full name or the name they were known by. An inscription can include family relationships, a favourite saying or a longer message of remembrance. Dates are optional. You will see the line breaks, spelling and portrait placement together before making a decision.

A considered place to remember

Choose a brass or stainless steel face, with or without a wooden board. Tell us where the plaque will be displayed. If it is intended for a cemetery, shared memorial garden or public bench, confirm the site’s permission and specification requirements before committing to an order.

If you would prefer a dedication without a portrait, our sister site InstaPlaque offers inscription memorial plaques with a free online proof you can arrange yourself.
