Personalizing a final resting place is a profound way to honor a life well-lived. At Haven Casket, we provide expert custom urn engraving to transform any memorial into a unique tribute. Whether you are looking for traditional name and date etching or intricate custom imagery, our master engravers utilize high-precision technology to ensure a beautiful, lasting finish on wood, metal, and marble.
To ensure the highest quality, we match our engraving technology to the specific material of your chosen urn:
Custom Appliques: For urns that cannot be directly engraved, we offer premium brass and silver nameplates that can be affixed to any surface.
Diamond-Tip Etching: Used primarily for metal urns and nameplates, this method creates a deep, elegant “V” groove that catches the light beautifully.
Laser Engraving: Ideal for engraved wood urns. This process burns the design into the grain, creating a high-contrast, permanent mark.
Sandblast & Hand-Filling: Best for marble and stone, ensuring the text is legible and bold against the natural veining of the rock.
Custom Appliques: For urns that cannot be directly engraved, we offer premium brass and silver nameplates that can be affixed to any surface.
