Personalized Memorial Garden Stone

A slate garden stone engraved with their name, their years and your own words.

• Real natural slate with a chiselled edge and a matte stone finish
• Laser engraved, so the lettering is cut into the stone rather than printed on it
• Their name, their years, and one short line of your own
• Made for the garden, with no ink or paint to wash off
• About 8 by 6 inches, sized for a flower bed, a porch step or a windowsill

After someone dies, the garden they loved keeps growing without them. The roses she pruned every spring, the bed he weeded on Saturday mornings, the bench where the two of you had coffee. A stone with their name gives that place back its meaning, and gives you somewhere to go when you want to be near them.

It is also the sympathy gift people keep. Flowers are gone in a week. A stone with her mother's name and one honest line arrives in the first hard weeks and is still there long after the flowers are gone. Slate is the right material for it. Slate has been used outdoors for centuries, it takes laser engraving cleanly, and the letters read pale against the dark surface with no paint to weather away. Every piece splits a little differently, so the edge on yours will not match anyone else's.

How to Personalize

1. Type their name in the personalization box on this page.
2. Add their years if you want them, or leave it blank for the name alone.
3. Add one short line of your own, or skip it.
