Cat Memorial Stone

Medium sized cat memorial made using solid Welsh slate. The font used was Zapf Humanist and was filled with grey paint.

Grey paint is a popular option for pet memorials as they do not need to be read from any distance or at night. You may wonder why we use grey paint at all when it would be simpler to leave the etched text as the natural colour - whilst this too is possible slate lettering becomes difficult to read when it's wet. Using a grey paint as close as possible to the natural etched slate colour is a good option as it looks natural all the time it's dry and is still readable when wet.

This was probably about the limit for the amount of text that could be fit onto this sized stone without encroaching too much onto the base area which we try to leave clearance from so that the owner does not have to cut the grass or foliage around the stone too often.

The dimensions of this slate cat memorial are 360mm x 330mm.
