Design
The Emblem is silver in colour and oval.[6] At the top is a Tudor Crown above the inscription "FOR A LIFE GIVEN IN SERVICE", surrounded by a rosemary wreath, a traditional symbol of remembrance. The name of the person commemorated is inscribed on the back.[3]
The Emblem includes a pin, allowing it to be worn by a next of kin of the person it commemorates. A miniature of the Emblem accompanies it, which may be worn by the recipient at "that person's discretion". The Emblem is not intended to be worn directly with other medals.[3]
Recipients of the Elizabeth Emblem also receive a memorial scroll inscribed with the name of the person commemorated. A close relative who is not the next of kin, for example a parent or partner, may be eligible for an additional memorial scroll, but not the emblem.[3]
