Memorial Bench - Commemorate a Loved
One With That Special Message
By C Butcher
A Memorial Bench is the perfect way to commemorate a
loved one's life. You can put the bench in a picturesque
spot, a place they enjoyed, a placed they once lived,
even just in your own garden. Lots of people are now
opting to raise money for memorial benches to be made
for special people in their life who have passed away.
They offer a different way to celebrate somebody's life.
It is not only a wonderful way to Commemorate the
passing of a loved one, but it has less negative
connotations than going to visit a graveyard in a
cemetery. Having a Memorial Bench offers a way to
reflect on someone's life in a location that means more
to the person, which makes it more personal. Many
companies specialise in providing top quality Hardwood
Benches that can endure extreme weathers, which are
perfect for use as Memorial Benches. They can last for
years and they are quite easy to maintain.
Memorial benches can come in a variety of wood types,
wood colours and styles. There is a type of bench to
suit everybody's taste. You have the option to be able
to paint the bench in whatever colour you choose, have
the bench in whatever style you choose, or even design
your own and have it tailor made by carpenters.
There are even schemes in place by county councils in
the UK concerning Memorial Benches. Dedications made to
your loved ones are featured on park benches and are
displayed in public for 15 years so that everybody can
appreciate and show their respects on a large scale. It
will help the local environment and parks look more
attractive, and people can pay their respects openly
whenever they wish.
The great thing about Memorial Benches is that any
manufactured bench can be used: you can go to your local
garden centre or store that sell garden furniture and
pick up a bench for a reasonable price. You could sort
out the plaque yourself: get a plaque engraved at a
local store too. This cuts down the price of going to a
specialist memorial bench maker. Alternatively, you
could always approach a craftsman who specialises in
providing the service of making memorial benches, if you
do not trust yourself or are set on going to a memorial
bench maker to get it done. Either way, you get a great
way to show that the person who passed away was very
special to you. Your Memorial Bench could be made out of
either wood, or concrete, depending on what you prefer.
Both materials can create memorial benches that can be
enjoyed, although wood tends to be the preferred option.
Wooden Benches need a little bit of looking after, so
before you buy your bench, make sure you have the time
and supplies to keep it in top condition. Wooden benches
need to be protected from wood-rot: you don't want your
hard earned money that was spent on a memorial bench to
start falling apart. It needs to be treated with the
special care that you have for your loved one as it is
meant to be a symbol of how special they were to you. |
