A rectangular slate plate printed in full colour with your photograph and a clean band beneath it for a name and two dates, in four rectangular sizes. Slate is the material memorials have been cut from for centuries, which is most of why this one works.
A memorial has two parts that need different amounts of room. A tall rectangle gives the photograph the upper portion and leaves a clear strip underneath for the inscription, which is how headstones, plaques and dedications have been laid out for centuries. The heart tapers exactly where the text wants to go; the square pushes image and wording together. The rectangle simply works.
Four rectangular sizes are made, all cut to the same thickness. The large is narrower and much taller than the medium rather than bigger in both directions, which matters when matching the proportions of a photograph.
Slate has held memorial lettering outdoors for two hundred years, and the material carries that association into a domestic object. The image is printed in full colour onto the face: on charcoal stone the picture reads deep and a little muted, which most families find appropriate on a memorial rather than a drawback.
Memorial photographs are usually the oldest files a family owns, so send the best version rather than the handiest: a flat scan of a print beats a photograph of it taken on a table, and the original beats anything that has been forwarded. They are printed rather than written and cannot be changed once the plate is made, and a date wrong by one digit is the mistake this design is most prone to.
The plate stands unaided on a shelf and takes an ordinary plate stand. Each one is split rather than sawn, so the edge is riven and no two are identical, which on a memorial most families find preferable to a machined edge.
The rectangle is the usual memorial shape for a practical reason: a name and two dates want a straight band beneath the picture, and only this outline gives one without narrowing. The heart and the square both work, but on a long inscription the rectangle is the one that does not force the lettering down a size.
Sublimation printing is what puts the image on the stone. Colour Enhancement can be added for $1.99 per image.
