When choosing photos for a grave photoplaque, it’s important to use the best quality photo available. Avoid choosing images with filters or physical damage, as these will affect the translation of the image onto the stone. It’s best to choose images that aren’t too zoomed out and don’t have a busy, distracting background.
Photoplaques are a great way to include a picture of your loved one on their headstone, giving you the chance to see their face every time you visit their place of rest. However, there are several ways that you can still include meaningful images on their headstone. For example, you could choose a portrait etching or a rose design.
The photograph you choose should be clear and preferably of a high print quality. We can remove backgrounds and other people from the photo if necessary. Try to choose a photo which is not blurred or damaged in any way.
Consider whether the photo would best suit a landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) photo plaque. In some cases your choice is restricted by the size/shape of your stone and the quantity of inscription text, if you are unsure please contact our staff and they will advise you.
