{"product_id":"custom-carved-oak-memorial-bench-elephant-design-tribute-seat","title":"Elephant Memorial Bench — Carved Oak Tribute","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-carved solid oak memorial bench with Asian elephants in the backrest — chosen by Fred for his wife Sue, because she had spent time in Thailand and loved them. Made in memory of Susan Pauline Leah Dicker, 8.12.59–12.7.24.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFred’s brief was as understated as it was clear: “Nothing over the top.” What followed was anything but ordinary. He wrote both inscriptions himself — the first along the seat back: \u003cem\u003e“From sunrise to sunset, a blessed place from above. Each day gives a rebirth of Joy, Peace and Love.”\u003c\/em\u003e The second, below the seat: \u003cem\u003e“Sunshine Sue, you will remain in our hearts forever, and we know your spirit dances with the stars.”\u003c\/em\u003e He sent it with the note: “Feel free to amend.” We didn’t change a word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from solid oak with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for all-weather outdoor resilience, the bench carries Sue’s full name and dates alongside Fred’s words. Your version begins the same way — with a name, the things that mattered, and the words that feel right. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid oak throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved Asian elephant motifs in the backrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom inscription carved directly into the timber — no plaques, no metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree coats Epifanes matt varnish — fully weatherproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for gardens, parks, churchyards and memorial spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable as two seater (W140cm) or three seater (W160cm approx)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height approx 45cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact us to discuss dimensions for your space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTell us who the bench is for, your chosen inscription, and any carving details — animals, motifs, places that meant something to them.
