{"product_id":"bunny-memorial-bench","title":"Lyra's Memorial Bench — Woodland, Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade in memory of Lyra, a child whose gentleness and joy is written into every carved detail of this bench — rabbits, wildflowers, butterflies and rolling hills, a whole world made from oak and love, placed in a school garden where her friends can still sit beside her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLyra's bench began as so many of ours do: with a family and a school trying to find the right way to hold someone's memory. We listened to the stories — the animals she loved, the colours that were hers, the small details that made her Lyra — and carved all of it into solid Welsh oak. The result is a bench full of warmth and life, designed to be used, leaned on, sat in and loved for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough this bench was made for Lyra, it is shown here as an example of what we create for families and schools who want a lasting place of remembrance. Every piece we make is entirely different, shaped by the person it honours and the people who miss them most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRabbits, wildflowers, butterflies and rolling hills\u003c\/strong\u003e — a carved woodland scene built from the details that were meaningful to Lyra and her family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePersonalised poem and name engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e — words chosen by the family, carved directly into the oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Welsh oak construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — built for permanent outdoor use in school gardens, churchyards and memorial parks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpifanes matt varnish, 3 coats\u003c\/strong\u003e — all-weather exterior finish for year-round durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePainted or natural finish available\u003c\/strong\u003e — hand-painted colour can be added to individual animals, flowers and carved details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/strong\u003e — carved by the same small team on every piece, from brief to delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard sizes: 150 cm wide (2–3 seat) or 180 cm wide (3–4 seat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth approximately 60 cm, height approximately 110–120 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBespoke dimensions available — tell us what fits your space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe commission memorial benches for children, adults, beloved teachers, community figures and anyone whose absence has left a space that a garden, school or churchyard needs to hold.
