The actual design and shape of the monument is important as well. Are you going to have a picture or text on your memorial? The best way to emphasize text on a memorial is to use a plaque. When considering a plaque placement is the key. Most of the time the plaque is put at the ground or bottom of the memorial. However, in some cases they are placed in the middle or at the top. Furthermore, when choosing a text for the plaque we can inscribe or etch the text of any language of your choosing.
