Remember a special person or event with a beautiful memorial bench. TDP is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of commemorative benches. Our benches are responsibly manufactured from recycled plastic and can be customised with engravings and plaques for a lasting tribute.
TDP’s range of recycled plastic memorial benches are the eco-friendly way to remember a special time, place, or person. Manufactured from 100% recycled materials, they last longer and are easier to maintain than traditional wooden benches.
All of our commemorative benches can have a remembrance plaque for adding a personalised message. Plaques can feature a wide variety of designs, fonts, and images, allowing you to create a heartfelt message. Messages and images can also be engraved directly into the bench.
Our benches are suitable for all locations, including parks and public gardens, beauty spots, sports grounds, and cemeteries. Our memorial benches are an excellent choice due to their unique environmentally friendly and low maintenance properties.
All our Memorial benches can be personalised in a variety of ways to reflect the character and preferences of the person being honoured. Firstly, there are a variety of memorial bench designs you can choose from, and you can even customise the colour (down to individual slats if you wanted).
You can also add a traditional plaque made of brass or stainless steel, accompanied by a message of your choosing. It’s also possible to have an image, logo or motif added to the plaque to make it even more personal.
Lastly, you can have a message directly engraved into the bench rather than on a separate plaque. You can choose from a variety of text styles and sizes, and even have logos or simple images engraved alongside.
With so many options available, we’re confident that a TDP memorial bench is a wonderful way to commemorate the memory and history of a person, event or location.
If you’d like to know more about our personalisation options, feel free to arrange a chat with one of our team, who will be happy to help you.
With My Place and Story, a service from TDP that allows visitors to your memorial bench to scan a QR code on their phone, then be taken to a page detailing the history of the person or place you are commemorating. It’s a wonderful way to share even more of a story than would fit on a plaque or engraving, really connecting people to the memory the bench is honouring.
So, whether you’re commemorating an event or remembering a loved one, our specialist team will create the perfect hand-built memorial bench. With decades of experience in crafting outdoor furniture, you can rest assured that your bench will receive close attention to detail.
All of TDP’s commemorative benches come fully assembled and ready to use. They are also completely maintenance-free.
We love hearing from our customers about how they’re enjoying their furniture – we get positive feedback almost every week. We’re not saying this to boast, but because we’re proud of how many of our customers love their furniture, because it means you’re going to love yours just as much!
We use recycled plastic to make our memorial benches. If the bench has a commemorative plaque, then it is made from brass, steel, anodised aluminium or acrylic.
The main benefit of manufacturing memorial benches from recycled plastic is that it’s an eco-friendly way to commemorate an event or remember someone special. All the plastic used in our benches is recycled from British waste, which actively reduces the amount of non-biodegradable plastic that ends up in landfill.
Because plastic is such a hard-wearing material, recycled plastic makes perfect sense for memorial benches, which are typically in public spaces and receive heavy use.
Yes, the plastic that we use when manufacturing our benches is completely non-toxic. Our benches will not damage the environment they are in and are also safe for animals. They are ideal for placing in parks, places of remembrance, and beauty spots.
This will usually depend on where you are wanting to install your memorial bench. If it is on public property, planning permission may be required. We’ve written a more extensive guide about this topic over on our blog – read our “Do You Need Planning Permission for a Memorial Bench?” guide
There are a couple of ways that a commemorative bench can be customised. Both of these options can be added to your bench at the checkout.
A memorial plaque can be included, containing a message, and also an image if required.
A message and images can also be engraved directly into the plastic planks of the bench.
Maintaining a recycled plastic memorial bench is simple. They require minimal upkeep, only needing occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Unlike wooden benches, they do not need painting or sealing.
All of our memorial benches are hand-built on-demand, so delivery times can vary depending on how busy we are. However, all of our products will show an estimated delivery date when ordering them.
No, we fully assemble every memorial bench before delivery.
The material used for our benches will not rot or decay. Our benches make the perfect lasting tribute because they will last for decades.
No. Our recycled plastic memorial benches will never require any additional maintenance or up-keep. Just a wipe down when required.
Wooden memorial benches require regular staining and maintenance, and are prone to rotting and becoming fragile over time.
However, due to our benches being made from ultra-durable plastic, this isn’t something you will ever need to worry about.
We have our showroom here in Wirksworth, open during the week that you are welcome to visit – if you’re further a field, we deliver furniture all over the country, so please contact our team, and we’ll be able to tell if there are any publicly accessible benches in your area.
