Would you like to commemorate a loved one with a beautiful memorial bench? We are leading manufacturers and suppliers of hand-crafted remembrance and memorial benches. We understand that choosing a bench for someone you have lost can be hard and our experts are always on hand to sensitively guide you through the process.

What are memorial benches? Commemorative benches give our customers a place to remember their loved ones. They are placed in a public or private space to celebrate the life of a person who has died. It is also a way of offering those who are grieving a sense they are ‘giving back’ to the community because many people will enjoy the seat.

Whatever the style you choose, you can be sure of a memorial that will provide a long-lasting tribute. We are proud to be able to offer a beautiful range of benches, seats, and plaques. We handle each order with great care and sensitivity and will consult you throughout the process to ensure your order is met.

We provide an in-house engraving service so you can fully personalise your memorial bench with meaningful words, such as ‘In remembrance of or ‘Never forgotten’.

We engrave our memorial benches using the latest CNC technology which gives a beautifully clean and detailed cut every time. All our commemorative inscriptions are “V-cut”, with this method we can create sharp corners and recreate any image.

Commemorative Plaques

A plaque is a traditional way to personalise a seat or bench. With chamfered edges and countersunk screws they provide a clean and unobtrusive look. Our cast bronze and aluminium plaques are a substantial 7mm thick. Each one is carefully recessed in to the seat to ensure a perfectly flush finish and fitted with tamperproof stainless screws to ensure their security. All our plaques start at 150 x 50mm, the size is gradual increased to make a perfect fit with the requested inscription.

How do I order a memorial seat?

Alternatively, contact our team and tell them about what you are looking for and we will be able to advise you of the available options. If you wish to have a plaque on your bench we can design it for you and seek your approval before it is made. There are various mounting options available.

Do I need permission to install a bench in a public location?

Yes, councils have dedicated departments that handle commemorative seat enquiries. We work closely with a large number of councils and can advised how best to get a seat in a park.

Contact us and we can provide more information on who to contact.

How do I maintain my bench?

All our benches are designed to be maintenance free. If left untouched, the iroko and teak will eventually weather to a soft silver colour. If you want to keep them looking fresh they will need an application of teak oil every year. We can apply the first coat in the factory for you.

Our recycled plastic benches require nothing other than a clean to get any built-up grime off every few years.

Do all memorials need to be on benches and seats?

Not at all. You can add a memorial inscription to anything on our website. Whether it’s an engraving on a table, a plaque on a planter, or a donation message on a dog bin.

What fonts can I have on my engraving?

We have over 100 different fonts to choose from. Most common choices are Arial, Times new roman and Comic sans. These are all available in bold and italic.

Will I get a draft layout before the inscription is done?

Yes. Every customer for a commemorative product is provided a draft layout showing how the plaque or bench engraving will look before its sent to production. At this moment you can make changes to the design and layout.

We require all customers to provide approval on the draft before it can be produced.
