Can I Have a Photograph on a Headstone?

Photographic memorials can celebrate a life with portraits and meaningful scenes. The permitted format depends on the burial ground.

What to consider

  • Check cemetery rules for photographic plaques or printed images.
  • Choose a clear original image where possible.
  • Ask about the materials, production method and care instructions.
  • Review a proof before the photograph is applied.
