Whatever you’re planning, we’re here to help – with clarity, empathy and genuine support.
At Globe Memorial, we create custom and standard plaques that carry more than a name – they hold story, feeling, and place. Whether standing alone or paired with a headstone, each plaque becomes a quiet anchor of memory. Our signature granite and bronze plaques are recognised across Australia for their refined detail, lasting strength, and understated elegance – thoughtfully crafted for enduring beauty.
Lawn plaques, often called “slopers”, are typically set on beams and crafted from granite or bronze. At Globe, we personalise each piece using engraving technology, allowing for inscriptions, photographs, religious icons, motifs or emblems. With precise layout, font, sizing depth kerning of engraving (including gold leaf, paint or natural finishes) to create balance, every plaque is built to honour memory beautifully and endure the elements over time.
Etched plaques offer a refined, photorealistic tribute, capturing life’s detail in lasting stone. Using cutting-edge engraving techniques, Globe creates stunning, high-resolution images and inscriptions that celebrate individuality with clarity and depth. These plaques are ideal for clients seeking a more personal, visual memorial preserving not just names and dates but faces, expressions, and stories in remarkable detail.
A timeless and dignified choice, bronze plaques have long been favoured for memorials that last. Each plaque is custom-cast in bronze with your selected inscription and may include photographs, emblems, or religious symbols. Known for their strength, beauty, and classic warmth, Globe’s bronze plaques are made to honour memory with grace, and to stand strong for generations to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom and standard memorial plaques used for?
Custom and standard memorial plaques are a timeless way to honour loved ones – often used in cremation gardens, lawn cemeteries, wall niches, or as additions to existing monuments. They can include names, dates, inscriptions, artwork, and even photographs, tailored to suit your family’s wishes and site requirements.
What materials do you use for memorial plaques?
Our memorial plaques are typically crafted from granite or bronze. Granite offers a range of colour options and is highly durable outdoors, while bronze adds a classic, elevated finish. We’ll help you choose the right material based on your preferred look, location, and budget.
Can I personalise the design of a memorial plaque?
Yes, you can choose the shape, granite colour, inscription style, artwork, and optional extras like photo frames or motifs. We can work from your ideas or guide you through our most popular plaque styles and designs.
Are memorial plaques suitable for cremation memorials?
Absolutely. Many families choose memorial plaques for cremation sites – including wall niches and garden bed memorials. They offer a respectful and lasting way to mark a loved one’s resting place, especially when a full monument isn’t required.

Working with Ailene at Globe Memorials was a very pleasant experience. She made me feel comfortable & supported while finalising my brother’s gravestone. There was no rush — just a genuine focus on getting everything right. The work was completed ahead of schedule. They also completed the gravestones for my parents 12 & 10 years ago with the same care & diligence. I’d like to sincerely thank the team at Globe Memorials & happily recommend their excellent service.

We contacted Globe Memorial Company to organise an inscription on Mum’s memorial plaque, and they were so very helpful. Communication was excellent, they got back to us very quickly and once the draft was approved by us, they completed the work within a few days, and also tidied up mums grave. They are a very professional and caring company, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to honour their loved ones. A special thank you to Ailene — she was amazing.

We had an amazing experience with Globe Memorial Co, start to finish with our late fathers headstone. Ailene was amazing, great the communicate with and always responded back extremely fast to every query. The price we received beat every other price we had received from everyone else by at least 2-5K. They are great and I highly recommend Globe Memorial Co!

If you need a monumental stonemason call Ailene at Globe Memorials. Sure, get a few other quotes as well, but then get Globe to do the job. Firstly, Globe will probably give you the best quote anyway, if not it won’t be far off. Secondly, Globe will help you iron out the particulars, style, Price points etc, and ways to meet your wishes. And finally Globe will deliver a quality product ABOVE expectations. I cannot speak highly enough of Globe. HIGHLY recommended.
