Memorial and dedication plaques are tablets usually made of cast metals engraved with text to convey information about the person, building or event. Memorial plaques honour the memory of a person who has left his/her mortal coil through engraved words giving information about the life and achievements of the said person. Dedication plaques preserve the historical, architectural, cultural or religious significance of a building or place through engraved words describing the same. There are companies which are dedicated to the art of creating custom memorial plaques. All you need to do is provide the text of the commemorative message which will be engraved on the plaque. Every aspect of the plaque such as size, borders, shape and colours are customised as per the instructions of the client.
