Memorial Bench Ideas
A memorial bench is more than just a place to sit—it’s a meaningful tribute to someone special. Whether honoring a loved one, celebrating a life well-lived, or creating a quiet space for remembrance, a custom bench offers a lasting way to preserve their memory. At Smith Steelworks, we’ve helped families and communities design personalized benches with unique engravings, portraits, quotes, and more. Explore our memorial bench ideas below to find inspiration for creating a tribute that tells their story.
Memorial Bench Purpose
Memorial bench ideas serve as a starting point to help you create a tribute that’s both personal and lasting. Whether you’re commemorating a loved one, honoring a community member, or dedicating a space of reflection, these ideas can guide you in choosing the right design elements—from inscriptions and artwork to color and placement. Each bench is an opportunity to share a story, evoke memories, and offer comfort for years to come.
Memorial Bench Process
Here is a look at how the memorial bench goes from initial idea to finished product.
Step 1: Inspiration
Ideas for the memorial bench may come from photographs, landscapes, music, etc. The mountainscape above was the inspiration for the Ence Family Bench.
Step 2: Design Proof
Our team creates a proof of the design. This provides a real life view of how the finished product will look. It will be emailed to you for approval before manufacturing begins.
Step 3: Finished Bench
The garden bench is cut using a special laser. This allows for precise cuts and detailed artwork. It is then welded, powder coated, and shipped directly to you.
