Strength. Elegance. Endurance. Timeless Beauty. PlaqueMaker’s memorial headstones, awards and gifts made from stone evoke all these characteristics.

Natural stone is quarried all over the Earth. No two pieces are identical due to the unique forces of nature. One of the most attractive qualities of natural stone like granite and marble, variances include differences in color, shading, irregular markings, voids, pitting, veins and fissures.


Unique Qualities of Granite

PlaqueMaker customers can choose products made from granite, a visibly granular, igneous rock available in black, with gray variations. Consisting primarily of quartz, mica and feldspar, granite is one of the hardest stones available and is the best choice when permanence, enduring color and texture, virtually no deterioration and low maintenance are the prime requirements for your project.


Unique Qualities of Marble

PlaqueMaker customers can also choose products made from marble, a metamorphic rock with a distinctive crystalline texture available in black with gray variations. Consisting of the carbonate minerals calcite, dolomite or a combination, marble is a softer stone than granite and can develop a desirable patina over time, due to staining or scratching. It is the best choice for projects that have a natural association with luxury, tradition, elegance and a legacy of success.
