Inscriptions information
Character Limits:
To ensure clarity and longevity, inscriptions typically accommodate between 80-120 characters, including spaces and punctuation. If your message is longer, we’ll help you refine it.Font Choices:
We offer a selection of elegant, easy-to-read fonts. Classic serif fonts like Times New Roman and clean sans-serif options such as Arial are most common. Special fonts or script styles can be discussed on request.Symbols & Graphics:
Common symbols include crosses, hearts, flowers, or religious icons. Please note: some cemeteries have restrictions on symbols or artwork — we’ll advise you accordingly.Photo Uploads:
Please upload a high-resolution photo (at least 300 dpi). JPEG or PNG formats work best. Avoid heavily filtered or low-quality images for the best reproduction results.
