Memorial Plaques For Indoors

Memorial plaques need to be made out of durable material to resist the passage of time; after all they’ll be fixed to a wall, a tree or other landmarks for years to come, preserving the memory of lost loved ones. Granite is probably the number one choice for outdoor memorial plaques, but alternatives as marble or acrylic also perform well in open-air environments.

But what if your memorial plaque doesn't need to live outside? What if you're simply looking to create a memorial plaque for indoors?

If you want to pay homage to someone, remember that there are lots of places to put a plaque, besides cemeteries and house façades. And if you choose an indoor location, the design possibilities are much wider
