About this Product
A weather proof memorial plaque tough enough for outside use in your memorial prayer garden but also elegant enough to use inside in loving memory of one who has passed.
This tribute plaque can be used flat against the ground or hung on a wall. You can also purchase a matching base stand (which can include 2 stakes) or just two stakes that attach from the plaque to the ground. A keyhole slot can be added at no additional charge, recommended only if being hung indoors. If being installed outdoors, I can pre-drill holes either centered top/bottom or left/right. Just request it in the checkout notes, otherwise it'll be assumed it'll be used in a memorial garden or park setting.
Place in your prayer garden in loving memory of a loved one who has passed. This memorial sign can also serve as a temporary grave marker until the grave stone is ready.
The engraved plaque is fully custom made to your specifications.
The initial photo shows the size 11" x 14" (1.06 sq ft) and includes two simple graphics and about the limit of the text that will fit on this size. This listing is for .83 sq ft (10" x 12") to about 1.5 sq ft (12" x 18"). Additional sizes are available in separate listings or contact me for a custom quote for something you don't see.
If interested in adding a graphic, please contact me first. I can then determine if it will be a "simple" graphic or "advanced". More complicated graphics take more time to design and carve.
Borders and line embellishments can also be added.
Include the text you'd like in the order notes when ordering.
My material is upcycled corian scraps and are limited to what I have on hand, once a particular color is gone, it's gone, and unfortunately, many of them do not have manufacturer names on them so I wouldn't even know how to begin to match it after the fact.
The paint used in the engraved areas is a weatherproof, outdoor grade paint, but will still require touch ups over time if left outdoors just as your house paint does. The material itself is resistant to the elements and should not fade with exposure to the sun. The engraved areas are painted black for most plaques, though dark gray and black will be painted white for contrast.
Included in the basic price is any text you'd like to include. Keep in mind the more text, the smaller it will be.
Options Available:
- Size - from 10"x12" (.83 sq ft) to 12" x 18" (1.5 sq ft). See my other listings for additional size options.
- Additional lines of text - the more text, the smaller the text it will be.
- Border
- Graphic: If you have another idea than graphics shown here, please contact me first to determine it's cost based on it's complexity.
- Method of display
- Color
Note on color: Gray is in most demand and I am beginning to run low so there is a small upcharge for grays. Most colors are not solid, but will often have speckling or swirls, however, I do have quite a bit of white that is a solid color.
A mockup will be sent within a few business days for your approval. Please be on the look out for it to avoid unnecessary delays.
For other options please request a custom quote.

Meet the Maker
Welcome to my one woman shop!
My name is Jennifer. I am an Army veteran, mom to an Army reservist/social worker, wife, and Christian. I started my interest in woodworking in middle school, back when shop classes were mandatory. Then, blessed with working for a sign maker in high school and gifted a router one distant Christmas, I made crafting my full-time job in 2015. I enjoy creating products you'll enjoy receiving and giving. If you'd like to customize anything you see in my shop to make it yours alone, just let me know. I love working with you to make unique pieces. If you are not quite ready to buy, please favorite my shop so you can find me easily when you are ready. Thanks for looking!
I also operate EnkoreSign.net, PACKAwards.net and MilitaryPatriot.net on Etsy so be sure to check them out, too... but just to see what I can do. If you want something you see there and not on this platform, hosted by goimagine, please contact me so I can recreate the listing here, that way all profits from fees will go to children in need.
As a former foster parent and a parent of a daughter who chose to go into social work to help keep children from having to go into foster care, I am passionate about the goimagine cause and look forward to the day I have all my inventory available here.
Shop Policies
Please review before purchasing!
Sizing details
The materials I use are reclaimed, refurbished, or at least rebought and may be one of a kind. To maximize usage, sizing may vary in all dimensions plus or minus about 10%. For custom signs, you'll be sent a mock up based on your custom text along with approximate dimensions planned for your project. Let us know at the time of your order if exact specific sizing is required.
Custom and personalized orders
The max number of characters for personalization may be limited based on the size of the item. If you need more, please contact me for a customized quote. The font(s) shown in the first photo is generally standard for that sign. If you'd like another font, just let me know. I will send a mockup of your personalized sign within 2-3 business days for your approval before beginning work so be sure to check your email.
Care instructions
Some items include indoor/outdoor urethane, some include just inside urethane, and some are left unfinished. Cedar and redwood weathers nicely outside whether finished or not, but other wood types should be sealed for protection and that protection should be renewed by the customer regularly to ensure continued protection. Corian is a man-made acrylic that is weather proof and uv resistant, however the paint (though suitable for outdoor use) will need touch ups if used outside just as house paint would.
Packaging
Packaging and protective materials are recycled whenever available, but still clean and sturdy, this is to save you money as well as help keep perfectly usable material out of the landfill.
Mockup Approval/Cancellations
I get to work on your mockup as soon as possible after your order is received to get it to you within the promised time frame, so cancellations are not accepted after 24 hours. Please respond promptly with your input for the mockup as work will not begin until you approve it.
Returns/Refunds
As most work is done to order specifically for you, returns and refunds are not possible on custom. If your order arrives damaged or is lost in the mail, let me know and I'll make it right. Be sure the mockup I send to your email is how you want the final design to look.
Processing time
Processing time is an estimate. For most custom products, that will be within 2 weeks. If you absolutely must have your order by a certain date, please contact me before ordering. While I can promise the date I will ship. I cannot guarantee delivery times as sometimes things just happen. If you are local to Rosamond, CA, you are welcome to pickup.
Shipping and Insurance
Shipping times are estimates. Once accepted by the post office, priority usually takes 1-3 days, and ground UPS/FEDEX takes 1-6 days. However, occasionally things are delayed or misdirected. Shipping arrival is not guaranteed except for Priority EXPRESS.
All items are shipped insured. Lost items cannot be claimed until 15 days have passed for domestic and 30 days for international. Damaged items will need to have photos taken and the packing material kept. Please contact me for details.
