Sizing Requirements for Flat Bronze Markers
The Basic Design of Bronze Memorials for Graves Sites
In designing our memorials, we begin with your loved one’s information (Full name, Date of birth, & Date of Passing) and expand the design from that point. Most of the bronze memorials we design end up with a signifying border, and emblems of descriptive phrases that help tell the story of your loved one. While space may be limited, we are able to maximize it and create a design that captures the essence of their story.
Almost all of the bronze markers we design will have the letters, numbers, and/or signifying elements raised and polished to protrude from the darkened bronze field. The darkened field aids in adding contrast, thereby allowing your chosen words and text to stand out. The finished design is then sent to our artisan bronze forge. Here, the design is cast from a bronze mold and is then shipped back to us for mounting and setting. Upon arrival, your new bronze marker is mounted on the granite memorial of your choosing and set in place at the head of your loved one’s burial plot.
Added Features of Single Person Gravestones
Before we can complete your design, we need to make you aware of the full host of options available. A bronze monument for one person needs to be completely different than that of the next. To accomplish this, we need your help in telling your loved one’s unique story so that their bronze memorial is special.
In order to make your loved one’s marker more unique, you have the option to add design elements that represent something that was meaningful to the recently departed. This can be words, quotes, lyrics, or text from their favorite holy scripture to the design. If space allows, there are other grave markers add-ons that stand out more. We will discuss these in the next section.
Flat Bronze Grave Marker Add-ons and Accessories
While for many, Bronze markers are traditional and timeless, others may feel that a little extra flair is needed in order to do their story justice. One way to accomplish that extra flare is to add a porcelain cameo or a bronze vase to the design. Throughout North Texas, we certainly have the people in our lives with personalities bigger than the state itself, and these design elements are just the thing to tell their story.
Our porcelain cameo portraits are a special inlay of a full-color portrait of your loved one living their best life. The best part is, these portraits are guaranteed to last as long as the bronze it sits on.
The bronze vases are meant to either be inlaid to the bronze marker or set off to the side for larger granite pieces that allow for the room.
