Memorial inscription on marble
This example shows a compact memorial inscription on the curved front of a marble urn. The dark lettering is positioned against the pale, veined surface. Keeping the wording within a defined area gives the inscription a clear placement on the shape of the vessel.
Names, dates and memorial wording
For an urn engraving enquiry, provide the exact name, dates and any additional message. The number of lines and lettering size depend on the surface and available space. Natural veining, the finish and the curve of the urn can affect how an inscription reads.
Assessing your urn
Send photographs of the whole urn and a close-up of the proposed engraving area, with dimensions and material details where known. Please mention any particular handling requirements. Agree suitability and delivery arrangements before sending the item, and check all wording carefully before approval.
