Prices checked in August 2026 in our online designer and include delivery to mainland Australia (Tasmania and remote areas may attract a freight surcharge). *Traditional engraved prices are for the plaque itself; engraved lettering is charged per letter and added as you type in the designer. Photos, extra motifs and mounting studs may change the final price, which you always see before you order.
Which Plaque Is Right For You?
For a photograph
Laser etched black granite gives a lifelike black and white portrait; full colour ceramic or vitreous enamel gives a colour photo.
For a traditional cemetery look
Cast bronze is what most lawn cemeteries and RSL sections expect, and it lasts for generations.
For a modern memorial
Stainless steel light reflective or light transmitting plaques with coloured glass suit contemporary headstones and niche walls.
For a tight budget
Traditional engraved granite from $161 plus lettering and thin stainless steel from $236 both include delivery.
Cemetery Rules And Sizes
Before you design, check what your cemetery allows. Lawn sections usually specify the plaque size and sometimes the material, and niche walls have their own limits. In Perth, Forever Shining is an approved mason for the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board, so we can lodge your application and install for you at Karrakatta, Fremantle, Pinnaroo Valley and the other MCB cemeteries. For regional WA and interstate cemeteries see our WA cemeteries guide and delivery page, or simply tell us the cemetery and we will check.

Memorial Plaque Questions
How much does a memorial plaque cost in Australia?
At Forever Shining memorial plaques start at $161 (plus per-letter engraving) for a 150 x 100 mm traditional engraved plaque and $388 for laser etched black granite. A 300 x 200 mm cast bronze plaque is $1,048. All prices include delivery to mainland Australia and you can see the exact price for your size in the online designer before ordering.
Which plaque material will my cemetery accept?
Most cemeteries accept bronze and granite plaques. Some lawn sections specify bronze only, and many set fixed sizes. In Perth the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board (Karrakatta, Fremantle, Pinnaroo Valley, Rockingham, Midland and Guildford) publishes size rules for each section; Pinnaroo Valley for example allows 380 x 280 mm and 560 x 305 mm plaques. Tell us the cemetery and section and we will confirm before you order.
Can I put a photo on a memorial plaque?
Yes. Laser etched black granite reproduces a photo in fine black and white detail, and full colour ceramic and vitreous enamel plaques carry a colour photograph. Bronze plaques can be fitted with a ceramic photo inset.
How long does a plaque take to make?
Granite and stainless steel plaques usually take 4 to 6 weeks from approved proof; cast bronze takes 6 to 8 weeks because of foundry time. We will give you a date when you order.
Do you install plaques?
In Perth we can install on headstones, bases and niche walls, and we lodge the cemetery application for you where required. Elsewhere in Australia the plaque is delivered with fixings and instructions for your local monumental mason or cemetery.
Do you deliver memorial plaques Australia wide?
Yes. Every plaque is made at our Bibra Lake workshop in Perth and delivery to mainland Australia is included in the price. See our delivery page for details.
Not sure which plaque to choose?
Send us the cemetery name and a photo of the grave or niche, and we will recommend the right plaque, size and fixing at no charge.
