Granite Plaque Pet Memorial
Product Description
Our granite pet memorial plaques are created in the traditional style from monumental grade granite and make an impressive and ever lasting memorial.
Engraved granite has been used in plaque production forever as it is a very hard and durable material. Having such fine grain means we can achieve more detailed engraving thus making it a good option for custom commissions or work requiring longer inscriptions, we can even cut granite to size, contact us if you would like a quote on a more highly customised memorial plaque.
The inscription is deeply engraved into the surface of the granite. No colour is applied to the lettering which appears grey against the shiny polished black surface of the granite. Our approach creates an ever lasting result thus ensuring the memory of your beloved pet is cherished forever.
Two sizes of granite plaques are available as standard with the large size having the option of an all weather photo ceramic plaque. There is no more fitting tribute to a beloved pet than an a custom engraved granite pet memorial plaque from Talking Stones

Artwork Approval Process
Your personalised design will be carefully prepared for you. A detailed artwork proof will be emailed for your approval before we begin production.
Gold Leaf Finish
Gold leaf is a premium decorative finish that adds warmth, elegance, and contrast to engraved lettering. Unlike many metallic finishes, genuine gold leaf does not rust, tarnish, or fade over time. As gold leaf is applied to the surface of the engraving, its long term performance is influenced by the environment in which the memorial is placed. Factors such as weather exposure, irrigation systems, coastal conditions, physical contact, cleaning methods, and general wear may affect the adhesion of the gold leaf over time. While many gold leaf inscriptions remain beautiful for many years, gold leaf is considered a decorative surface finish and may require maintenance or reapplication during the life of the memorial. As environmental conditions are beyond our control, the longevity of the gold leaf finish cannot be guaranteed and is not covered under warranty.
Cemetery Requirements
Cemetery requirements can vary, so we recommend checking your cemetery’s specifications before purchasing. If you need a different size, style or material, we’re happy to help arrange a custom headstone.
Granite Plaque Pet Memorial
Beautifully done. Emotional. Thank you for honouring my precious boy with an eternal keepsake.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for sharing the photo with us. It was an honour to create something so special for your precious boy. We hope his memorial keeps those wonderful memories close and brings you comfort for many years to come.
This is the 4th time I have purchased a pet memorial from Talking Stones. Great price, engraving was perfect and delivery was within expected timeframe. I know the Granite will look brand new for years to come, even in coastal areas, as does the one I purchased 15 years ago. Also loved the personal message in the package, which was much appreciated!!
Thank you for trusting us with these memories over the years. We take great pride in ensuring our granite tributes stand the test of time and we are humbled by your continued support.
Absolutely brilliant service, compassionate, lovely people to speak to. Just received 2 plaques. Already have 6. Doggies just go too early
Thank you for your kind words. We’re so glad we could provide support during such a difficult time and that your new plaques have found a special place. We understand how hard it is when our beloved dogs leave us too soon, and it’s an honour to help you remember them.
A truly beautiful, lasting way to commemorate our beloved cat, Lola. The communication from Talking Stones was first rate, from the design proof, the accurate time frame & right down to the lovely hand written note on the paper wrapping the plaque. The quality of the engraving & the plaque itself far exceeded our expectations and the matching stands are a must, they really do complete it. Thank you, Talking Stones, for bringing comfort during such a sad time.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for sharing the photo of Lola’s memorial with us. We’re so pleased that everything, from the first design proof through to those little personal touches when you opened your parcel, made such a difficult time a little easier. Lola was clearly a very special and much-loved part of your family, and it means a great deal to us to know that her memorial has brought you some comfort. Thank you for trusting us to create something so special for her.
I purchased a granite plaque for my cat, Jo was lovely and communicated promptly and sympathetic for my loss. i got the stand with the plaque and it was worth the extra $, the plaque looks amazing in the garden, it arrived very well packaged, and undamaged. I will always order from Talking Stones, as sad as it to lose furr family. I DO recommend to buy from talking stones, worth the money. Thank you

Hi Lizelle, we are glad that you had a great experience with us and thank you for trusting us with your memorial.
I have ordered many memorials from Talking Stones over the past few years, when our cats have sadly passed away, and they have always been very supportive and very caring. Tina was very kind when I rang and placed my order, and Crystal was very efficient emailing me a proof image of my memorial plaque. I 100% recommended Talking Stones when you need a beautiful tribute to a beloved pet, they are my go to company.
It is a privilege to have assisted you with memorials for your cats over the years, while ensuring that we provide excellent customer service. We are pleased to hear that Tina and Krystal provided support throughout the ordering process. We appreciate your recommendation and your continued trust in our work.
We received the granite plaque today and it is perfect - absolutely beautiful. You have a wonderful business and provide an excellent, personalised service. If you ever need any references I would be more than pleased to provide them for you. All the best.
