The writing is on the wall

It's no secret. Trigard Memorials' bronze and aluminum crypt and niche plates are the perfect fit for any vertical application. Our unique direct-to-metal machining process gives our memorials a slimmer profile, allowing them to sit flush against the wall. And our unmatched detail makes our memorials look outstanding - even close up.

Call 800.798.4900 to partner with us for your next mausoleum or columbarium project.

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.

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.

Ready to transition to upgraded brochures?

More than a year ago, we started offering a new style of brochures for our products. After great responses to the redesign, we are going to transition to the new style and discontinue the smaller, bifold brochures. 

Although the new literature is bigger, there is no price increase.

There are many advantages to the redesigned brochures: 

• The larger size (8 ½" x 11") means each brochure includes more samples and bigger pictures.
• Infant/Child, Medallions, Pet Memorials, and Veteran Companion brochures are one page, front-and-back. Paragon®, Classique, Portrait, Collage, Gallery, and Memorial Rock brochures are two pages, front-and-back, allowing for even more photos.
• The brochures show each series in multiple styles, including ground memorials, urns, and niche/crypt.
• You can still mail the brochure in a standard business envelope by folding it in thirds.
• You can also hole punch the brochure to use in a presentation binder.

If you haven't seen the current brochures, head to the Product Literature portion of our website to preview the PDFs. You can call customer service at 800.798.4900 to order copies to distribute to your customers.

Memorial Rocks can honor loved ones after scattering

Do you know a family that scattered their loved one's cremated remains and is now without a place to share memories and remember?

A Memorial Rock could be a great solution. While our rocks are available with a compartment to hold cremated remains, they can also mark a special space after scattering. 

Having a hard time explaining the importance of a place to share memories? Consider sharing Blake's Story, a video available on our YouTube channel.
