Malta has 95% of memorials with some kind of ceramic picture plaque. In Malta there is no need to begin manufacturing as the population does not necessitate this and for a rather interesting reason. Because we are now working in the digital world it is only necessary to have an office to bring or send the photo. The photo is then scanned ‘while you wait’ which removed the most worrying problem of twice posting what is usually a very precious picture overseas. The image is emailed the same day in the unedited form to either UK or Belgium for processing.

Vitae Memoriam UK has a very different challenge, as although it is growing, the number of stones produced which have a picture plaque are nearer to 5%. Why is this? Research suggests that there has been little marketing in this field and those who do use the service are mostly still having to post these precious photos to Italy and wait for what could be unsatisfactory results.

Vitae Memoriam UK is working together with Vitae Memoriam Belgium to get production up and running much quicker than would otherwise be possible.
