How to Begin the Process

The first step in ordering a memorial bench is deciding where you want it to be placed. Whether it's a local park, cemetery, or a place of recreation, the location holds significance in creating a lasting tribute.

Connecting with the Right Contacts

Since the bench will be placed on someone else's property, the process involves liaising with the respective location's contact person. If we have a relationship with them as we do with many around East Yorkshire then we can liaise with them on your behalf. In fact, if you have a specific site in mind like East Park, Beverley Westwood, or a local authority/parish council where benches are commonly placed, the property owner may well refer you back to us.

Established Relationships

Over the years, we have built strong relationships with places like RSPB, National Trust, Building & landscaping companies, Museums, Parks & Gardens, local authorities, and cemeteries. These connections often lead to automatic referrals and a smooth ordering experience.

No Limitations

Whether you need one bench or multiple benches to honour different family members, suppliers are accommodating and understanding of your needs. The focus is on creating a meaningful tribute that resonates with your memories and emotions.

Why Choose a Memorial Bench

A memorial bench serves as a lasting symbol of remembrance, providing a peaceful place for reflection and honouring the life of a loved one.

Placing a bench in a public space like a park or garden allows the community to share in the memory, creating a sense of unity and togetherness.

Unlike other forms of memorialisation, a bench offers a timeless tribute that can be enjoyed by generations to come, preserving the legacy of your loved one.

Ordering a memorial bench is a heartfelt way to pay tribute to a beloved family member and create a lasting memorial in Hull and East Yorkshire. By working closely with us and understanding the process, you can ensure that the installation of the bench is a meaningful and comforting experience. Let the beauty of a memorial bench serve as a beacon of love and remembrance in the places that meant the most to your loved one.
