A memorial bench in solid oak with a hand-carved portrait of your loved one in the backrest — alongside the personal details, symbols and passions that defined them, and birds perched on each armrest.
Every memorial bench tells a story, but this one starts with a face. The portrait is carved from a photograph — the grain of the oak becoming part of the likeness, the wood giving the image a depth and permanence a photo frame can’t match. The bench pictured features a car alongside the portrait, because the person remembered was someone whose connection to a particular vehicle was part of who they were. That kind of specificity — the make, the model, the affection — is exactly what a memorial bench can carry that no other tribute manages.
Two birds on the armrests mark the bench as a place of remembrance. Built from solid oak and finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for all-weather outdoor resilience. Your version is worked out from scratch — portrait, personal details, symbols, inscription. Prices include VAT.
