These are a selection of poem plates that will be personalized with your pet's name and dates. Choose from the selections shown, or choose to have a custom plate made with your own text ($5.00 extra for custom plates). The plates can be used in frames, collages, urns or anywhere else you want to add personalization to your pet's memorial. They are 2-7/8" square and are engraved on a black aluminum plate. The gold or silver text have a mirrored effect against the black plate. This contrast is visually appealing, particularly as the print stands out clearly against the black background. The plates have a self-adhesive strip on the back, so you just peel and stick. All of our plates are professionally engraved in a brick and mortar store with state of the art equipment. No desktop engravers here. If you are ordering a custom plate (last sample shown), please provide all the necessary information that is shown in the sample plate for the Custom Plate.
