How Do We Custom Engrave Our Metal Urns?
At Perfect Memorials, we understand that each memory matters, and our mission is to help you cherish those memories in the most special way possible. Today, we want to give you an insider's look into our meticulous process of laser engraving on colored metal urns - a service that makes us immensely proud.
Personalization Begins with Design
The journey of creating a personalized urn begins with our specialized software. Here, our experts design the layout of the engraving according to your requests, whether it's a cherished quote, a name, or an image. This is where your personalized tribute to your loved one begins to take shape.
Precision and Care
Once the design is ready, the urn is carefully positioned within our state-of-the-art engraving machine. This step is crucial for perfect positioning and alignment of the engraving. Our advanced laser equipment is designed to be efficient, ensuring each engraving is crisp, clean, and precisely as you imagined.
The Process for Colored Urns
For our colored urns, the engraving process takes a special turn. The laser engraving removes the painted or enameled layer of the urn, revealing the base metal underneath. This doesn't lessen the beauty of the urn; on the contrary, it adds a striking contrast. We typically don't fill the engraved portions with additional paint. Instead, we allow the silver or gold base metal to shine through, creating a prominent, beautifully contrasting engraving.
The Process for Silver & Gold Urns
Our silver and gold urns for ashes are personalized in a similar fashion. However, rather than removing the painted layer of the urn, the metal reacts to the laser to allow engraving to appear. The laser engraving process creates permanent marks on the metal urn. Using a focused laser beam, the laser interacts with the surface of the metal, causing it to turn a dark color. This process allows for a more clean engraving that many etching processes do and will ensure that the integrity of the urn is not diminished.
Quality Assurance and Shipment
After the engraving is complete, our dedicated team thoroughly inspects the final product to ensure it meets our high-quality standards. The urn is then wiped clean, ensuring it's in pristine condition for you. Our shipping team then steps in to carefully prepare each order for safe transport, ensuring your personalized urn reaches you in perfect condition.
At Perfect Memorials, we take immense pride in providing a service that helps you remember and honor your loved ones in the most personal and heartfelt way. We hope this behind-the-scenes look into our process gives you a clearer understanding of the attention to detail and care we put into each piece we create. We look forward to serving you.
