As well as their headstones and memorials services, Thompson Memorials have a gravestone inscriptions service, and say that the laying out of an inscription for a memorial headstone can often be a difficult process.  There are a large number of considerations such as the size of the memorial, is space to be left for a second inscription, and the actual wording and content for the inscription to reflect the emotion and sentiments for the loved one.

Thompson Memorials have the experience to help with this important part of the memorial process.

Creating a memorial to a loved one at a time of feeling great loss can be a difficult process and Thompson Memorials helps people through this process with sensitivity, honesty and a genuine desire to achieve the best result for their client and their client’s family. They take the time to consult with the client on the design of the monument including the content and layout of the inscription, whether they wish to include artwork, emblems, motives or the placement of a ceramic portrait. The inscription layout is also determined by the size and style of font and if space is required for a further name to be added. 

Thompson Memorials can inscribe languages from any ethnicity on to the memorials and will sit with people, note down their ideas and thoughts, and offer considered advice, and through this process, combined with their experience, they generate a computerised drawing which provides the client with a visual of the finished layout. Thompson Memorials use the latest in machinery and technology, coupled with time proven traditional workmanship, to create a long lasting tribute to your loved one.

Thompson Memorials has always had a huge commitment to providing high quality products and workmanship for monuments extending some 70 years, and the process they use for the finish on the engraved lettering is a primer coat of vapourised tin and zinc, which is applied through a flame gun as a metal spray. This provides the only ideal base coat available to which the white or gold finish can be applied. Thompson Memorials are almost unique in providing this service to ensure greater longevity to the finished memorial, so for more information on Thompson Memorials and their inscription services, please visit the website at http://www.thompsonmemorials.co.nz
