Nothing is so difficult as the loss of a child

We know what it is like to guide a family through arrangements after the loss of a child. Did you know that we have special memorial designs just for children?

It is our sincerest hope that our infant and child memorials can help provide the families you serve with one last opportunity to lavish their little one with all of the love possible.

Our infant and child memorials are available in traditional oxide or Brilliant Impressions® color. Families can choose from our library of images or let our design team transform their photographs into a loving tribute.

Call Customer Service at 800.637.1992 to learn more.

Create a stunning memorial from a faded photo

Has a family ever provided you with a faded photo that they would like to use on a memorial?

While washed out photos may not be the best choices for our Brilliant Impressions® color memorials, they often look stunning in our oxide finish.

Let our team of designers help you turn those old photos of their loved one into a beautiful bronze memorial or urn.       

Call us at 800.798.4900 to learn more about our oxide finish.

Trigard shines at NBM Sign Show

The precision and detail created by our machining process was on display at the NBM Sign Show in Indianapolis. Jeff Miller and Ethan Darby answered questions about our range of experience with plaques and signs.
 

Just like our process allows the families you serve to be incredibly creative when designing a memorial, there are practically no restrictions on our plaques and signs. Shape cuts, full color and incredible detail are no problem for our artists and technicians.  
 
 
Do you need a new sign for your business? Do you know a group dedicating a wall in your community? Are you working on a donor project? Call us at 800.798.4900 to see how Trigard Plaques and Signs can help.
