Memorial park benches create lasting memories

"Grandpa used to love visiting this park” is a strong inspiration for survivors who want to purchase memorial park benches in honor of a loved one who is no longer with us. Parks departments and other facilities can provide this Adopt-A-Bench option for relatives who want to honor a departed relative while at the same time providing a visible tribute that will shared by fellow members of the community. In NYC's Central Park there are inscriptions on many of the 9,000 memorial park benches including one that reads “In memory of Nicole and Steve who Loved the Park and One Another." The knowledgeable staff at The Park Catalog can help people choose the right memorial bench and add a personalized message whether it is laser-cut into the bench itself or included on a 3-inch by 5-inch plaque.
