Brass memorial bench plaque reading Frank and Margaret Williams

Is the bench in a public park or cemetery? Most councils only allow plaques through their own scheme.

Materials & logos

Brass

A warm, traditional look. Brass naturally darkens outdoors unless it’s lacquered or polished, which many people like as it ages.

Stainless steel

A modern silver finish that won’t rust or tarnish, and needs almost no care. Often chosen for exposed coastal spots.

Logos & emblems

Add a logo, crest or emblem in full colour or black and white. Send us the file and we’ll include it on your proof.

Not just for memorials

Bench plaques also mark weddings, retirements, anniversaries and donations to clubs, schools and churches.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put my own plaque on a council bench?

Usually not. Most councils only allow plaques through their own dedication scheme, and unofficial plaques may be removed. Contact the council’s parks or bereavement team first.

How many words fit on a bench plaque?

It depends on the size. As a guide, a 6 x 4 inch plaque fits 4–5 lines and an 8 x 3 inch plaque 3–4 lines. We’ll always send a proof so you can see the spacing.

Can you engrave in Welsh?

Yes. We regularly engrave in Welsh, English or both.

Can you add a logo?

Yes. We can add a logo, crest or emblem in full colour or black and white. Send it as a PDF, EPS, SVG or a clear image.

Do the plaques come with screws?

Yes. Every bench plaque comes with stainless steel screws, so it won’t stain the wood.

How long does a bench plaque take?

Typically 10–14 working days from approval of your proof.

Can I collect my plaque?

No. We can’t offer collections. Every plaque is posted to you with its fixings.
