Opening Plaques

Opening plaques are a dignified and appropriate means of commemorating the opening of a new building or infrastructure project. Such a plaque can record the date of the opening along with other details such as who was bestowed with the honour of declaring the amenity open or even a tree planting.

Very High Quality

Verified Purchase
5/5 Stars

For a very long time I have wanted a stone engraved with a poem to put in my garden. My three sons decided they’d buy me one for my 70th. birthday and having done some extensive research, settled on one from Rustic Stone. I have to admit, when I opened the package, (and very thoroughly packed and packaged it was!), I felt very emotional. The stone and the engraving is beyond beautiful. It is the perfect complement to my garden and I am delighted. The stone itself is of a very high quality and I love the font. My sons say that the service they received was par excellence, so thank you very much, Rustic Stone, for helping to make my birthday so top-notch!

After having received exorbitant prices from other stone plaque manufacturers, we found Rustic Stone via a Google search. Contact was painless, design tool worked well (once we got the size right!) and RS was very helpful and informative about the process. The plaque arrived when he said it would, and has now been installed. thank you very much!

We are very pleased with our memorial stone that Jeremy and his team produced. We have two WW1 Memorials in our church garden and we have now added areas for interred ashes. There was a lot of work involved and we were given money to help with this process. In recognition of the work done we wanted a sign to show that the garden area was a special place and when it was completed.

Thank you so much for the beautiful stone for ‘Daisy’s Garden’ which you made for us in memory of our beautiful Granddaughter. It is placed in a special part of our garden dedicated to her and, as her Mum and Dad live in America, this is our only way to pay tribute to her.
