Most families choose their name and years with a short line, such as “In loving memory of our wonderful Mum” or “Who loved this view”. See the examples above or our full wording ideas. Can one plaque have both parents’ names? Yes. Two names and dates fit comfortably on a 6 x 4 or 7 x 5 inch plaque, with a short line underneath. Can you match a plaque already on the bench? Yes. Send us a photo of the existing plaque and we’ll match the metal, size and font as closely as we can. Can the plaque be in Welsh? Yes. We engrave Welsh wording and accents correctly, in Welsh, English or both. ## More bench plaques - [Brass bench plaques](https://grimesengravers.com/brass-bench-plaques/) - [Stainless steel bench plaques](https://grimesengravers.com/stainless-steel-bench-plaques/) - [Pet memorial bench plaques](https://grimesengravers.com/pet-memorial-bench-plaques/) - [All memorial bench plaques](https://grimesengravers.com/memorial-bench-plaques/) ## See your plaque before you order Try your wording, size and font in the designer, then send it for a quote within 24 hours.
