Doug: I admire your project. For my son's grave we had a plaque cast at a foundry---all text plus university and fraternity crests---but elsewhere in the cemetery I've seen a few plaques like you describe which don't appear to have been cast. I don't know who did them. Some plaques in the cemetery haven't weathered well (or maybe just not as I would wish them to) and I notice bird droppings are deleterious so try not to provide perches above the plaque. Mind the means of mounting. You don't want to set up an electrolytic cell accidentally. I don't know my alloys. If I were selecting for a memorial plaque I'd want to make sure (1) the weathered patina will be acceptable and (2) any care and maintenance necessary to maintain the patina is understood.
