The Benefits of Choosing a Custom Memorial from Nateva Porcelain
Introduction: Why Custom Memorials Matter
Every life is unique, filled with memories, stories, and moments that deserve to be honoured in a meaningful way. A custom memorial offers families the chance to create a lasting tribute that reflects their loved one’s personality, values, and legacy. At Nateva Porcelain, we specialise in crafting bespoke memorials—beautifully made to endure, and designed to bring comfort for generations.
What Makes a Custom Memorial Different?
Personalisation Beyond the Standard
Unlike traditional plaques or headstones with limited design choices, a custom memorial opens the door to full personalisation. This may include portraits, inscriptions, shapes, or even symbolic imagery that reflects the life lived.

A Blend of Artistry and Durability
Our memorials are made from high-quality porcelain using kiln firing at 980°C. This process permanently fuses images and inscriptions into the ceramic surface, ensuring that they remain vibrant and resistant to weathering.
Types of Custom Memorials Offered by Nateva Porcelain
Memorial Plaques
Porcelain plaques can be shaped like parchments, books, or classic ovals and rectangles. Families often combine photographs with meaningful text—quotes, dates, or religious verses—creating a balanced tribute.
