{"product_id":"memorial-bench-hand-carved-oak-personalised","title":"Hand-Carved Oak Memorial Bench — Bespoke, Personalised","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery one of our memorial benches begins with a person, not a product — their animals, their landscapes, their words, carved into solid Welsh oak by hand and placed somewhere that holds their memory permanently outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have made memorial benches featuring gambolling goats and mountain scenery, family silhouettes against a coastal horizon, owls in ancient trees, rugby roses, horses, dogs, butterflies and birds. We have carved inscriptions, poems, dates, names — and hidden details that only the family knows are there. No two benches are the same. Each one starts with a conversation about a person, and ends as something that looks like no other bench in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur benches are made from solid Welsh oak in our Mid Wales workshop, finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for all-weather outdoor use. They are built to live outdoors permanently in gardens, school grounds, churchyards, memorial parks and coastal paths — and to be sat in, every day, for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntirely bespoke carving\u003c\/strong\u003e — wildlife, landscapes, family scenes, portraits, symbols or anything that was meaningful to your loved one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePersonalised inscription\u003c\/strong\u003e — name, dates, a poem, a favourite saying, or words chosen by your family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Welsh oak construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — sustainably sourced, built for permanent outdoor placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpifanes matt varnish, 3 coats\u003c\/strong\u003e — premium all-weather exterior finish, proven in outdoor settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes as standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — 150 cm (2–3 seat) or 180 cm (3–4 seat); bespoke dimensions on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional ground-fixing kit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pre-drilled feet for permanent installation in grass or paving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/strong\u003e — every bench carved by the same small team, from brief to delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard: 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 sizes, heights and backrest designs on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA memorial bench commission begins with a conversation — about who this person was, what they loved, and where the bench will live. We can work from photographs, poems, sketches, or simply your words. From there we design, refine together, and carve. Families often share that the process itself becomes part of the remembrance — a chance to gather the details that mattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLead time is typically 4–5 weeks.
