Memorial Furniture - Memorial Benches & Commemorative Seating

Chris Nangle Furniture specialise in the design and manufacture of the finest memorial benches and commemorative benches. We offer a range of both traditional and contemporary style memorial seating. Whatever the style, our clients can be assured of owning a timeless memorial to a loved one that will age gracefully and provide a lasting tribute for many years to come.

All of our memorial benches are handmade in our Shropshire workshop. The benches are constructed using the traditional method of pegged mortise and tenon joints throughout. We only use the best available materials such as locally sourced sustainable English green oak and marine grade stainless steel.

Green Oak is an exceptionally durable timber that needs no chemical treatments or preservatives making it maintenance free, therefore, it is the ideal material for a memorial bench. When the bench is placed outside it will naturally season and age gracefully to a beautiful silver colour.

As all of our memorial seating is handmade to order, we are always happy to alter the sizes to suit our clients' needs. Alternately we would welcome the opportunity to produce one of commissions in any style. The memorial benches are available with either stainless steel fixing brackets or longer legs for in ground fixing, making them vandal proof and ideal for public spaces.

We offer hand carved lettering for our memorial benches. Hand cut lettering is a beautiful addition to any bench. We are able to carve any style of font from simple Roman to a more free flowing text.

We feel that a few carefully chosen words or a verse helps to celebrate in words the life of the person you wish to commemorate. Alternatively we offer traditional 150mm x 50mm solid brass or stainless steel plaques. These are sunk below the surface of the bench and fixed in place with brass or stainless steel screws.
