A memorial plaque is more than a marker. It stands up to rain, sun, and frost for years. We cast each one from strong bronze, then finish the raised letters by hand so they stay clear and easy to read. You choose the size, border, finish, and emblem. Our team sends a free proof, and nothing goes to the foundry until you say yes. Browse the full range on our bronze plaques catalog or request a free quote.

Which type of bronze plaque is right for you?

Legacy Bronze makes five main styles: bevel plaques, flat plaques, niche and crypt plaques, scrolls, and vases and rings. Bevel plaques sit on a raised front edge so they are easy to see. Flat plaques rest at ground level. The right pick depends on where the memorial will go.

Bronze bevel plaques

Cast with a raised, angled front edge that lifts the letters toward the eye. A top choice for cemeteries and dedications. See our bevel plaques.

Flat bronze plaques

A classic ground-level shape that mounts flush with the base. Clean and easy to care for. Browse flat plaques.

Niche & crypt plaques

Small plates sized for niche walls and crypt fronts. View niche & crypt plaques.

Scrolls, vases & rings

Bronze scrolls display names on companion memorials, while vases and rings add a place for flowers. See scrolls and vases & rings.

Got Questions?

Bronze Plaque Questions Answered

What are bronze plaques used for?

People use bronze plaques for grave markers, donor walls, signs, and cemetery memorials. Bronze is the top pick for outdoor markers that must last a long time.

How long do bronze plaques last?

A bronze memorial plaque can last for decades, even a hundred years or more. Bronze stands up to rust, weather, and knocks better than most other metals.

Do bronze plaques fade over time?

Over time bronze forms a soft patina. It does not harm the text. In fact it adds a layer that guards the metal, and the words stay easy to read for the life of the plaque.

Can I customize the design?

Yes. You pick the text, logos, borders, finish, and art. We offer thousands of emblems, and we make custom art at no extra cost.

Are bronze plaques weather-resistant?

Yes. A bronze plaque stands up to rain, sun, snow, and heat with no harm. It is a great fit for outdoor cemetery and memorial use.

How are the letters engraved?

We cast each plaque in sand molds at top U.S. foundries. The raised letters and art are shined bronze, so they stand out against the background.

Do you charge for text or emblem designs?

No. Text is free for letters a quarter inch or larger, and we offer thousands of emblems at no cost. Custom art and design help are free too.

What if the plaque arrives damaged?

We replace any plaque that shows up damaged at no cost. You get a flawless memorial every time.

How long does production take?

Most plaques are ready about ten weeks after you approve the proof. We ship to all 50 states and help you place the memorial the right way.

What sizes are available?

Sizes run from small 8-by-4-inch niche plates to large 44-by-14-inch companion plaques. Most single markers are 24-by-12 up to 28-by-16 inches. We make custom sizes on request too.
