Custom Lawn Plaque Memorials in Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast

Wide Bay Memorials creates high-quality custom lawn plaques for families across Hervey Bay, Maryborough and the wider Fraser Coast. Based in River Heads, we work closely with families to design meaningful, understated tributes that honour loved ones with dignity and care. With over 50 years of experience as monumental masons, we ensure every plaque is crafted to last.

Lawn plaques are a popular memorial option for lawn cemeteries, ashes interments, commemorations and pet burials. They offer a refined and respectful way to preserve memories without the height or scale of larger memorials. At Wide Bay Memorials, we personalise each lawn plaque so it reflects the individual and the wishes of their family.

We use durable materials and proven installation methods to ensure your memorial remains secure and visually appealing for many years. Our team provides guidance at every stage, from material selection through to inscription and placement.

Our lawn plaques are typically made using bronze plaques mounted onto a solid granite or stone base for strength and longevity. Aluminium plaques are also available on request for families seeking an alternative material option. Each plaque is custom designed to suit cemetery requirements, personal preferences and budget considerations. These smaller tributes are well suited to lawn cemeteries and areas where a low-profile memorial is required.

Lawn plaques can be designed with traditional or modern styling and are ideal for marking interments, memorial gardens, commemorative spaces and pet resting places. Every design is handled with care and respect, ensuring the finished plaque feels personal and meaningful.

Each lawn plaque created by Wide Bay Memorials includes everything required for a complete and professional finish. This includes the plaque itself, with personalised etching or inscription to your specifications. The plaque is securely set onto a granite base to provide stability and a refined appearance.

Decorative borders, symbols and imagery can be added to enhance the design and reflect personal interests, beliefs or cultural traditions. Our experienced team will help you choose design elements that suit both the plaque and its surroundings.

Granite Finishes for Lawn Plaques

Our lawn plaques can be embedded into granite for secure and elegant placement that complements the surrounding lawn area. Granite is available in a range of finishes and colours, allowing families to choose a style that feels appropriate and personal. From darker, traditional tones to lighter, contemporary finishes, we help you select an option that suits both the plaque and the setting.

Granite bases are carefully prepared and installed to ensure stability and long-term performance, even in outdoor conditions.

Why Choose Granite Bases for Lawn Plaques

Granite is denser and less porous than concrete or other stone, meaning it does not absorb moisture from the lawn. This makes it more resistant to discolouration, mould and weather damage, ensuring your memorial remains attractive and intact over time.

Why Choose a Lawn Plaque Memorial

Lawn plaques are a practical and elegant memorial choice, particularly for lawn cemeteries with strict height or size regulations. Because the inscription is etched or cast into metal, the message remains clear and legible for much longer than many other materials. This makes lawn plaques a lasting way to preserve names, dates and personal messages.

They also offer a more affordable option while still providing a dignified and personalised tribute. For families seeking a simple yet enduring memorial, lawn plaques provide an ideal balance of durability, appearance and meaning.
