Dog & pet memorial plaques, with or without a photo

Losing a pet is hard. A plaque with their name, a few words and, if you like, their photo gives you a special place to remember them. We engrave it into 316 stainless steel that lasts outdoors, and you'll see a free proof before anything is made.

  • Ready in 48 hours
  • Lifetime legibility warranty: the engraving won't fade or wear off
  • Free design proof before we engrave

How it works

  1. Send a photo and the words. Your pet's name, dates and a short message. A phone photo is fine.
  2. We send a free proof. We'll tidy up the photo and lay it out, then change anything you like.
  3. Ready in 48 hours. Pick up in Rutherford or we post it to you, carefully packed.

Choosing words

Short and simple usually reads best: their name, the years, and a line like "Forever in our hearts" or "Best mate, always". Our pet plaque wording guide has dozens more ideas, with examples for dogs, cats and horses.

Built for outdoors

316 marine grade stainless steel handles any weather, from beachside salt air to full sun. Fix it to a wall, fence, rock or paver with outdoor adhesive or stainless screws.

Questions we often get

What photo should I send?

The clearest, highest resolution photo you have, ideally with your pet's face in focus. We'll let you know if it will engrave well.

Will I see a proof before you make it?

Yes. We send a layout proof for approval before anything is engraved or cut, so you can check every word, number and dimension first.

Do you deliver Australia-wide?

Yes. We're based in Rutherford, NSW, and express post to every state and territory, including regional areas, as well as New Zealand. Local customers are welcome to pick up from our showroom.
