How Are Memorial Tree Plaques
When choosing a memorial tree or a plaque to commemorate a loved one or event, it is important to understand how they are typically mounted or installed. Trees are often tucked into a forest, offering a quiet and serene place to remember a beloved family member or pet. Other trees might have sweeping views of a meadow, mountain or lake.
A stake is a long, pointed piece of wood or metal that is driven into the ground. It is used to mark a boundary or support a plant or fence. In fiction writing, stakes are often used to describe what is on the line for the protagonist in a story’s central conflict. This is a technique that makes the story more compelling.
When a memorial tree plaque is designed, Parks Canada assesses landscape and built environment considerations and considers universal access and public safety issues. Typically, a minimalist approach is adopted with a simple metal or concrete stand.

Outdoor memorial tree plaques are a popular choice for a variety of uses including honoring a loved one, recognizing donors or designating a special place. They come with a 24″ ground stake for easy mounting in most areas such as gardens, parks or by trees. These durable outdoor plaques are made of cast aluminum and engraved with up to 6 lines of text and 20 characters/spaces maximum per line.
Standard or special brackets are cast onto the back of the plaque to accommodate threaded studs (bosses) or flat-backed plates, generally in smaller sizes. They are typically installed using silicone, epoxy or quickset cement into the holes drilled for studs. A ring is then placed around the studs to create a neater finish. Rosettes can be attached to the studs to enhance the overall look of the installation. The ring can be curved to fit the surface of the wall or mounted on a curved post.
