Remembrance - Memorials and Grave Markers Sunset Designs, using our advanced modern photo-engraving techniques, can produce striking high contrast etched stones for use as memorials. Depending on the size and shape of the stone you can include pictures and motifs aswell as personal inscriptions to commemorate your loved one or memorable occasion Choosing the design for a memorial as a lasting monument will influence what it will be made from. Time has proved that natural stone (granite, marble, slate) will withstand weather, can be shaped and is suitable for engraving or carving. These materials are ideally suited for cemeteries, churchyards, crematoria, gardens and wall fitting. Our favoured material, especially when a photographic image is to be included, is black granite as it shows maximum contrast when engraved. Lettering can be enhanced by the application of silver or gold leaf but this of course will add to the cost.
Below are examples of the framing that can be applied to enhance the image. The plaques can be in portrait format (as above) or landscape, with the long side on the top, which allows for an asymmetrical layout.
We can offer a wide variety of typefaces but find that the following popular examples are often chosen
