A memorial bench gives family and friends somewhere to sit and remember. We make granite benches and seats with an engraved dedication on the back rest, for gardens, parks, churchyards and cemeteries – including sofa-style seats carved from solid granite.
5 designs shown. Every design can be made in another size or granite colour, or changed to suit you.
Placing a memorial bench
Benches in public places usually need permission from the council or landowner. Your memorial mason can help arrange it and fix the bench securely.
Granite, size and lettering
Most of our memorials are made in Premium Khammam Ebony Black from our own quarry, which takes a deep mirror polish. They can also be made in Blue Pearl, Bahama Blue, South African Grey, red and green granites – see all granite colours. Cemeteries and churchyards set their own rules on height, width, shape and colour – lawn sections and children’s sections are often stricter. Check with your memorial mason before you choose, and we’ll make the memorial to fit.
How to order
Families: ask your local memorial mason for any design on this page – show them this page or the photo number. Your mason will help with the wording, check the cemetery or churchyard rules, apply for the permit and fit the memorial. Not sure who to ask?
