Funeral plates are tags that are placed on the coffin and that are engraved with the name, date of birth and death in order to identify the deceased. Similar plates are also used for urns and cemetery exhumations.
Funeral Plaques
Funeral plates are placed on the coffin and are engraved with the name, date of birth and death to identify the deceased. The plates must be engraved to ensure that the data written on the plate cannot be erased.
Funeral plates are normally made of aluminum, they can also be made of brass or steel and have various types of colors, even with graphics, to give an extra aesthetic touch. These plates are normally very thin, about 0.5 mm thick, and can have various sizes and shapes. In size they range from 80 mm to 160 mm wide and in shape they can be rectangular, oval and, for urns, they can also be round.
How are funeral plaques engraved?
Funeral plates are engraved with a pantograph with a diamond-tipped tool. The diamond tip creates a real groove on the plate and this type of engraving guarantees that the plate is indelible, that is, that the body is identifiable over time.
