While the process will largely depend on the cemetery from which you order your memorial bench, here is the general process of ordering a memorial bench for a cemetery:

Next, you'll provide the information of the deceased as you would want it to appear on the bench.

For instance, many people choose to include a bible verse or meaningful quote.

4. Provide Any Further Customization Instructions

Additional customization options will depend on the type of cemetery selected. For instance, you may be able to add more engravings, flower vases, etc. It is best to consult with your cemetery to figure out customization options.
