Create a Lasting Tribute to a Loved One

Posted by outdoorschoolfurniture on September 23rd, 2019

If you've ever taken a hike or wandered through a garden or visited a playground and found a bench in a convenient location that is dedicated to someone's memory, your mind begins to spin out a story as you sit gratefully and enjoy the break in your day. Perhaps the person enjoyed the same path you are on so much that their loved ones decided to place a bench in a favorite spot. Or maybe the person planted some of the flowers in the garden where you now sit. Maybe the person came to the playground with grandchildren and took great pleasure in their play. If you're at a school playing field, maybe the bench is dedicated to a winning team. As you enjoy your surroundings and think about the person or persons who also must have taken pleasure in the same spot, your thoughts stray to your own family and how to memorialize them. Why not explore the option of personalized benches?

What to Consider

A personalized bench is a wonderful way to honor a friend or loved one while you create a useful piece of furniture for future generations. You can opt for an engraved plaque in a variety of fonts to attach to the bench or have a customized message manufactured into the bench back for a one-of-a-kind memorial. These personalized benches come in an array of colors and have pre-mounted drilling holes in the legs for easy installation at your chosen site. The perforated bench has cast iron legs and 11-gauge steel construction. The back and seat have staggered 1/2 inch holes for drainage and a thermoplastic coating for durability. For gardens, parks, and cemeteries, a graceful lattice back is available. Benches of this type are also used on the playing fields of schools or parks and can be modified to reflect school colors. Prices start at around 0.

Where Do I Get One?

You can order the bench of your choice online from a variety of vendors, but be sure the company you're ordering from offers a secure on-line site and will accept returns of damaged goods for a modest restocking fee. They should offer a great price and take care to satisfy their customers. Lastly, they should be members of the National School Supply and Equipment Association (NSSEA). These are some things to keep in mind when ordering personalized benches.
