Fonts & Lettering Styles
We offer a wide range of font options for inscriptions, from timeless serif styles to contemporary script fonts.
If you have a specific font in mind that holds personal meaning, you're more than welcome to provide it.
For a longer-lasting and more legible engraving, we highly recommend choosing simpler fonts. These allow us to engrave deeper and our paint to sit in the glass rather than on top of the glass, ensuring better durability over time.
Simple fonts not only stand the test of time but also offer better readability at a glance.
To help you visualise the final result, we provide mock-up stages throughout the design process.
Every plaque is engraved with great care and precision. Our design team will work closely with you to ensure each word and letter reflects your sentiment exactly as you imagined.

Permits & Council Requirements
It’s important to note that many cemeteries and crematoriums require permits before installing a memorial. While some councils may initially decline “glass,” it’s essential to request permission specifically for Escape Slumped Glass Headstones — these meet the same standards as granite and are approved in most locations.
✅ All urupā sites allow glass headstones.
✅ We can supply all technical specifications and strength/durability data to support your permit application.
For assistance, please contact us at sales@escapeglass.co.nz or call 03 214 5012.
"Thank you for all the support the team gave when designing our Dads Headstone and plaque. We have recommended you to a lot of people."
