Memorial Plaques

Memorial Plaques are suitable for remembrance walls, columbarium niches, berms, lawns, recumbent desks and upright memorials.

Changeable Plaques

R.A. White & Co. have designed 2 types of plaques with changeable plates to allow for additions to the original inscriptions. These are The Loose Leaf Book Plaque and The Column Plaque.

A memorial plaque with the words 'In Loving Memory Of' engraved at the top. The plaque is designed to look like an open book with a small engraved rose at the bottom right corner.

The Loose Leaf Book Design

This design of Memorial Plaque has a base frame with 2 removable "pages" (may also be supplied with one full page if desired). The original inscription may be on either side allowing the "other" page to be replaced with a new second inscription page when required. The "other" page may have an inscription, verse, epitaph or decoration prior to replacement.

The Column Plaque Design

Decorative memorial plaque honoring Nancy Symonds with dates of birth and death, surrounded by floral motifs.

This concept in changeable plaques allow you to choose a combination of decorative side columns, embellishments and inscriptions to create a unique memorial at an economical cost. This plaque has a base frame with two separate inscription plates held in place by decorative side "columns". They are designed to allow for a subsequent inscription to be added to the original by the replacement of (usually) the lower plate.
