Dedication Plaques
Dedication Plaques to Honor & Commemorate a Life Well LivedSince the beginning of our collective history, mankind has always honored the memory of a loved one by marking their final resting place with a memorial of some sort. While at first, only individuals of great importance in society were paid tribute to with large, permanent monuments, as societies evolved, memorials went from simple stones or wooden plaques to headstones that were larger and more complex in their nature. The industrial era allowed supplies to become more available, which in turned allowed families to honor their loved one's with permanent tributes, regardless of their station in society. Whether it be a simply collection of stones or an ornate standing monument, marking the space for the departed shows not only respect for their life and the memories they leave behind, but also provides grieving friends and family somewhere that they can remember the lost person and pay their respects to them. The latter is especially important because it can be a great help during the grieving process, as the memorial serves as a reminder that the lost individual's memory will always live on through their loved ones. Now in days there are countless ways to create a tribute to a dearly departed person, whether it be at their grave site or simply in an area that is dedicated to their memory. Dedication plaques offer a modern take on traditional memorials, due to their versatile nature. These memorial plaques are made of lightweight yet sturdy aluminum and can be used in countless settings, whereas memorials of the days of old were usually created only for a cemetery or graveyard. The flat, wall-mount dedication plaques are perfect to add to any structure that is dedicated to the memory of the deceased. Some examples of said structures include an addition to an existing building, or a memorial rock or memorial pillar in a park or garden. There is also the option of the dedication plaques with ground stakes, which makes them free-standing so they can be displayed upright. Dedication lawn plaques are ideal to set in a front lawn, in front of memorial trees or memorial bushes, or in memorial gardens. These free-standing plaques are sure to add a wonderful and dignified touch to any memorial area where there is no flat surface to attach a plaque. Both the wall dedication plaques and lawn dedication plaques are offered in a large variety of colors. This allows the dedication plaques to either compliment or contrast the setting surrounding it. Dedicating a special area to a loved one not only helps cope with the grief of their loss, but can also help provide an individual closure, because it allows them to pay a final respect to the memory of the person. A beautifully crafted dedication plaque offers a memorial tribute to truly be proud of. Each plaque is carefully made to offer a beauty that is surpassed only by the memorial's durability. The master craftsmanship and of these plaques makes them resilient to the elements, which serves as a heartwarming reminder of the resilience that love has to the test of time. |
