A memorial bench is more than just a piece of furniture – it is a timeless tribute to a life well lived, providing a place where family, friends, and communities can pause, reflect, and remember. At Free Range Designs, we create bespoke wooden memorial benches that combine durability, natural beauty, and thoughtful design.

Each bench is handmade in our workshop using carefully selected hardwoods such as oak and Douglas fir, chosen for their strength and suitability for year-round outdoor use. Whether placed in a garden, park, churchyard, school, or public space, our memorial benches are crafted to withstand the elements while blending seamlessly into natural surroundings.

Personalised Memorial Benches with Plaques

We know that every memorial is unique, which is why we offer a wide range of personalisation options. Many of our clients choose to include a brass or stainless steel plaque with a custom inscription, while others request engraved messages, wildlife carvings, or bespoke motifs that reflect the character of the person being remembered. From a simple name and date to a favourite quote or symbol, our personalised memorial benches allow you to create a lasting dedication.

Durable & Sustainable Outdoor Benches

Our benches are built to last, using traditional joinery methods combined with modern finishing techniques to ensure strength and weather resistance. We also believe in sustainable craftsmanship, sourcing wood responsibly and designing benches that are both eco-friendly and meaningful.

A Lasting Place of Comfort

A memorial bench offers more than just seating – it provides comfort, connection, and a sense of continuity. Families often place benches in their gardens as a private retreat, while schools and councils install them in parks and community spaces to create welcoming areas of remembrance. Wherever they are placed, these benches serve as a lasting symbol of love, memory, and togetherness.
