A heart-shaped slate plate printed in full colour with your photograph, a name and dates, in three sizes. Slate is the memorial material, and the heart is the softest shape it comes in.
Slate has carried memorial lettering in churchyards for centuries, which is why a slate plate reads as commemorative before anybody looks at it. A heart takes that association and makes it domestic: this is an object for a mantelpiece rather than a grave, and the shape is what signals the difference.
A heart narrows to a point at the bottom, which is exactly where a name and two dates would naturally go. The design works around that, but it is the reason the rectangle is the usual memorial shape and this one the alternative. If the inscription is long, take the rectangle; if it is a name and two years, the heart holds it.
Photograph, name and dates are printed in full colour onto the slate face. Dark stone absorbs pale tints, so white lettering reads clearly and pale colours do not, and the picture comes out deeper and quieter than on paper. On a memorial most people find that appropriate rather than a limitation.
Splitting rather than cutting leaves a riven edge on every plate. It stands unaided on a shelf, or sits in a plate stand.
Memorial photographs are usually old ones, so send the best version you have: a flat scan of a print beats a snapshot of it taken on a table, and the original file beats anything that has been through a chat. They are printed rather than written and cannot be amended once the plate is made, and a date wrong by a digit is the mistake this design is most prone to.
The heart is the version bought for a partner or a parent rather than for a wider family, and it is usually kept in a room rather than put with anything else. That is worth knowing because the shape makes a claim the rectangle does not: it reads as personal grief rather than a family record, which is right for some households and too much for others.
Sublimation is the process, so the colour sits in the surface. Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image.
