Frequently Asked Questions

How deep is the engraving?

We engrave deep enough to create shadow detail. The finer the text the shallower the engraving.

Can I add more text?

Yes. You can select the "extra engraving" when entering in your engraving details. This will allow you an extra line of text for an extra fee. Please contact us if you wish to have more than the extra line of engraving.

Can I have a different graphic?

Yes. We have lots of graphics on our files, so please ask. If you would like something unique, we can create it for you or add your own design. There may be a small fee involved. Contact us or use the special instructions section on the check-out page. Keep in mind we will provide you an artwork proof to approve and confirm your order before we schedule the engraving.

What Sandstone is the plaque made from?

We use a fine-grained sandstone which is very hard with no iron banding. This results in very sharp and fine engraving deal with each piece of stone being smooth on each size.

Do you seal the Sandstone?

No. We do not add any treatment to the stone as we prefer not to add any chemicals to our products.

Thank you so much for trusting us over the years to create these special memories. We are very honoured to be part of your family's story.

A Fitting Tribute

Once again you have provided a beautiful and fitting memorial for our beloved cat.

From the initial email to the final product, Katie supported us throughout the whole process. She was happy to work with us and to make even the smallest of changes until we were 100% happy with the paw print design. There was no pressure and Katie was very compassionate throughout this sad time, and we were constantly reassured that we could change the pawprint design as many times as needed. The final product is absolutely beautiful and the pawprint is a special way to have an eternal reminder of a much loved member of the family. Many thanks to Katie and the Talking Stone staff, who have provided such an amazing service and have crafted this memorial with love.

Amazing quality

Such beautiful craftsmanship, amazing quality and wrapped so carefully (the handwritten note was a special touch). The end product surpassed my expectations. Even though the box warns you in advance, to say I cried when I unwrapped the plaque, is an understatement. Thank you so very much for helping me create such a meaningful way to remember our beautiful, sweet boy.

Thank you so much, Alex, for your beautiful review. We're delighted that the sandstone memorial plaque exceeded your expectations. We know how much these memorials mean to the families who receive them, which is why we take such care with every detail, right down to the packaging and handwritten note. It's especially lovely to hear that those little touches made a difference. Thank you for trusting Talking Stones to create such a meaningful tribute to your beautiful boy.

Cat Memorial Plaque

The plaque looks great, love the sparkle in the sandstone and the deep engraving. Was really nicely presented in the box, loved the extra personal touches, the note, tissues etc. Would highly recommend, thank you.

We are glad to hear you are pleased with quality of work matched with the natural features of the sandstone plaque. Our team includes those specific packaging touches to ensure a thoughtful delivery, and we appreciate your recommendation.

We received our beautiful sandstone plaque for my daughter's horse Toffee and we are thrilled with it. Gemma has made a special garden and the plaque will have pride of place in it. The photo looks absolutely wonderful on the plaque and we couldn't be happier. Your excellent customer service (phone calls and emails) made this a very easy purchase in what was an unhappy time for us. Thank you again James, we have found a way to remember our Toffee so beautifully thanks to you and your products.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the sandstone plaque that you made for our faithful & loving dog. I have to say that the plaque exceeded all my expectations, and I shed a few tears when I opened the package and read the words, also the "carved with love" on the wrapping was a lovely and much appreciated touch. The plaque is a fitting tribute to a greatly missed member of our family and looks lovely in the garden that Mac loved to explore. I found your website easy to use, the "artwork for review" a great idea and your online and phone customer service highly professional and caring. It has been a pleasure doing business with you. All the best.

Thank you so much for the truly beautiful sandstone memorial for my sister. My mum was just stunned by how stylish it looks and the high quality of your work, and all done over the internet! The little owl looks fantastic, very effective. I will place the stone in my garden, in front of a large pot of Peruvian lilies, so I may remember Val every time I am in the garden. Thank you for a fantastic piece of artwork, your team is to be congratulated.
