When you think of a granite Bench Memorial, you probably think of a beautiful piece of art, made to memorialize someone who impacted the lives of those around them. Maybe placed in a local park, or in front of a museum, or a church yard. All of these are wonderful options, but did you know, many families are opting to erect a granite bench memorial, in place of a headstone? This isn’t the traditional grave marker, but can be both beautiful and practical.

A traditional headstone differs in both appearance and practicality. Headstones are our traditional and most common option, but don’t offer a comfortable place to sit and reflect. For many, that’s okay. What a granite bench memorial lacks in tradition, it makes up for with it’s practical use. I’m sure you can imagine how sweet a moment it would create to sit at the resting place of a loved one and just talk.

Choosing the right Granite Bench Memorial

Choosing a granite bench memorial will also offer more space for memorializing. A headstone is also a wonderful choice...but what about when there is more to say, or your family wants something more unique. In simple terms, a bench memorial, has more surface area to inscribe and add custom artwork to. Sometimes, it’s hard to pick just one picture, or choose one favorite quote, and a bench memorial might be just right for your family monument.
