Porcelain photo for rembrance stones 'Oval with border'

A face that stays

Photographs fade. Porcelain does not. If you want the face of someone you loved to remain clear and recognisable for years to come, a porcelain photo offers something a printed image simply cannot.

How the image is made

The photograph is not printed onto the surface. It is fired into the porcelain itself using a specialist kiln process, which means the image becomes part of the material. There is no coating to lift, no ink to fade. Porcelain is hard-fired ceramic that holds its structure through rain, frost and temperature change, making this suitable for placement on a headstone, memorial stone, cremation urn or photo block, indoors or outside.

Colour, tone and finish

You choose how the image looks. Colour preserves the liveliness you remember. Black and white brings calm and a sense of permanence. Sepia sits somewhere between the two, with a softer, more historical quality. Different sizes and border finishes are available, so the porcelain photo can be matched to the monument or urn you have in mind.

What to expect from us

A porcelain photo is a small but significant part of the place you return to. The face you see there is the connection between you, and everyone else who visits, and the person you are remembering. That deserves care.

Approval before production

You will receive a digital proof to review and approve before anything goes to production. Nothing is made until you are satisfied with how it looks.

Practical considerations

Porcelain is durable and weather-resistant, but it is not indestructible. The one genuine risk with outdoor use is impact: a sharp knock or a fall can crack or chip the piece. Fix the photo securely to its surface using an adhesive suited to the material of the monument. Applied and fastened correctly, a porcelain photo will hold its image and its finish for many years.
