Memorial stones & pet markers wholesale: engraved for garden, graveside and indoor
A 15–30 cm engraved memorial stone is the most common and most durable pet memorial in Western homes — at home in a garden corner, at the graveside, or on a shelf. The category is nearly blank among typical marketplace sellers, while its supply chain sits in China's stone-carving belts: Hui'an and Quyang headstone craft extended into small pieces, with laser engraving of controllable depth and complete font libraries. Slate, granite and river stone, MOQ from 100 pcs, heavy-goods overseas warehousing supported — the first building block of a differentiated memorial line.

The four questions when buying memorial stones
Will outdoor placement fade or crack?
Slate and granite are outdoor-grade stones; laser engraving removes material physically and cannot fade. Thick slabs are selected for freeze-thaw cycles — for cold regions we recommend 2 cm thickness or more.
How is photo-etching quality assured?
Etching quality depends on the source photo: we preprocess grayscale, pre-correct low-contrast or blurry photos, confirm with a sample, then produce the batch.
How do you keep heavy-goods logistics costs down?
Three levers: standardized sizes (five fixed sizes consolidate easily), overseas-warehouse positioning (full containers amortize per-unit freight), and mixed shipments of small sizes as light parcels.
Do stone products come with compliance documents?
Natural stone exports as ordinary goods with no mandatory certification; composition statements and testing (such as radioactivity class) can accompany shipments per destination requirements.
