Oval Plaques
Oval Plaques
Oval memorial plaques offer a softer, more flowing shape than the traditional rectangle, and this collection of 12 designs covers a wide range of styles. At the simpler end, plain ovals with a smooth raised edge can be paired with crosses, flowers, or thistles, or left entirely unadorned for a clean, minimal presentation.
Several oval designs include detachable name plates for family memorials, with options for rope or smooth borders. For something more distinctive, the sculptured ovals include the Jasmine design with its free-form sunflower and vine border, a garden-themed oval with floral garlands and bees, and a celestial design with a crescent moon and stars on a dark blue background. The contemporary Oval 1 brings a modern aesthetic with mountain line art.

Choosing the right oval plaque
Oval plaques offer a softer alternative to rectangular and book-shaped designs, and the 12 options in this range cover a wide spectrum from simple to sculptured.
For a traditional oval with faith imagery, several designs pair a cross with small flower or thistle motifs, with the choice between a plain cross, Celtic cross, or ornate decorative cross. The plainest option has no motifs at all, suited to those who prefer an unadorned presentation.
If you need a family plaque that can grow over time, four oval designs include detachable name plates. The rope-bordered oval with its dove motif is particularly distinctive, while the smooth-edged options offer a cleaner look.
At the sculptured end of the range, the Jasmine design breaks away from the standard oval form with a free-form sunflower and vine border on a blue-purple background. The garden-themed oval with bees and floral garlands suits memorial gardens, and the celestial moon and stars design on dark blue works well for both children’s and night-sky-themed tributes. The contemporary Oval 1 brings a modern feel with mountain line art. For more shape options, browse the standard rectangular and book-shaped ranges.
What is the rope border option on oval plaques?
One oval design features a distinctive twisted rope border around its edge, giving it a more textured and tactile appearance than the smooth raised edges on the other ovals. This design also includes a dove motif, which is unique to this plaque. The rope border from this design can also be applied to a standard oval if preferred.
Which oval plaques support detachable name plates for families?
Four oval designs include detachable plates for adding individual inscriptions over time. These vary in their motifs and border style: one has a rope border with a dove, one has a smooth edge with a rose, and two have a smooth edge with a plain cross. All use a three-line shared base with space for two five-line name plates.
Is the moon and stars oval suitable for a child's memorial?
Yes, the moon and stars sculptured oval is well suited to children’s memorials, with its celestial theme and deep blue background evoking a peaceful night sky. It also appears in the children’s plaque range for this reason. The design works equally well for adults who had a connection to the stars, the sea at night, or the natural world.
