Engraving Frequently Asked Questions

for Cremation Jewelry, Urns, Keepsakes and More!

Memorial Gallery is proud to offer quality in-house engraving at affordable pricing. Our engraving is done with an advanced, computer-driven engraving system with the spirit and passion of our in-house engraver. Our professionally trained engraver is a true artist at heart who offers engraving on many hard-to-engrave products with the utmost precision.

What can be engraved?
In addition to engraving most cremation jewelry items, Memorial Gallery offers some additional personalization items that are not offered anywhere else. Some of these options (shown below) include customers’ sketches, signatures and symbols.

Can you engrave a signature? A doodle? A drawing?
Yes, we can! For some families, nothing is more personal than something done in their loved one’s own hand. We do have the ability to duplicate and engrave simple drawings and signatures. Please contact us for more information and pricing.

What font styles are available?
Memorial Gallery offers two basic font styles, script and block. Please note that block is more legible on very small pieces or with many characters. Also script font is difficult to read in all capital letters. If you would like capital letters, block is the best choice. We suggest capitalizing the first letter of every word and ensure there are no spelling errors. If you have any questions about which font might be best for your order, please don’t hesitate to call.

Can you engrave a heart/star/peace sign on my order?
Below you will find some common symbols that can be engraved. If you have something in mind that you don’t see here, please contact us for information on customized engraving.

How long will it take to engrave and ship my order?
Depending on the volume of engraving orders, it can take up to four days for an item to be completed. Photo engraving may take up to a couple of weeks. Many pieces, however, are engraved on the same day they are ordered. If you need your item to arrive by a certain date, simply let us know.

Why did the engraving form field cut me off before I finished typing my entire engraving order?
Due to size and engravable area, each piece is different in the number of characters it can hold. While we encourage families to keep to the character limit for the sake of legibility, sometimes additional characters can be added if the font size is decreased. We are happy to work with you to create the memorial that most reflects your wishes. Please feel free to contact us for suggestions and advice.
