By Casper Vivianodeni


If you want to write a message in a memorial plaque, it is important to remember about your target audience. You want to remind them of the great memories they have with the person who passed away. Your objective is to bring back memories for people who are reading the plaque. Here are some tips on how to achieve that objective.

Think of the fun things about the person

When thinking of what to write, think about fun memories about the person that passed away. Having fun memories helps to give the message a positive tone. This is important especially if the person composing the message is still in the grieving process.

Try to remember the most memorable thing about that person

Every person has some characteristics that are unique. These characteristics that make them unique may be included in your message. If a person keeps repeating a particular line or says something funny frequently, it may be a good idea to quote him in the message. The people who will be able to read the message and is familiar with those lines, he may reminisce of his or her memories. Just avoid including lines that only a few people understand. It will also help to avoid inside jokes and things few people understand.

Involve other family members and close friends

If you are still having trouble about the message or if you have doubts about what is appropriate to write, try tapping other family members and friends who are close to the person. They could have some ideas that may be better than what you could come up with. The things that they are grateful for are some of the things that you can start with.

Use positive words

When you have decided on what to write, check if the message uses positive words. You don't want to give the message any unintended meaning. If you follow these tips on how to write a message on memorial plaques, people will surely be reminded of the person when they read your message. Generic messages are good, but don't you think a personal message would be more appreciated?
