We have been making memorial benches since 1993 and have always endeavoured to give the highest level of service as well as the highest quality of bench. It is important to us to ensure all our clients are fully satisfied. We appreciate the sensitive nature of the business. The following are a few of the many unsolicited testimonials that we have received. Personal details have been omitted to save any embarrassment, although permission has been given in each instance for the testimonial to be added to the website.

 

  The photographs of my father's memorial bench taken by my cousin have finally arrived in the post last week. The bench is beautiful. You have    done a marvellous job. My Dad would have been very pleased with it. Thank you so much, and my very best wishes to you.

The bench is just fantastic and it stands so proud outside the church, it is so much better than the benches I have seen anywhere else, everybody said it was the nicest bench they had ever seen too and I was singing the praises of Oxford Benches to everyone. I just want to say Thank you again for the fantastic bench, it is worthy of Ben. I didn't want any old bench, I wanted the best, and that is what I got. Thanks again Have a wonderful Christmas and a busy new year!

Just a quick note to say thank you. The bench that you made and installed for us is absolutely beautiful. It's the nicest bench I've seen. It's very special as it's right next to my mother's ashes. All our family are very happy, and I just wanted to thank you on behalf of them. Please pass on our gratitude to your workers.

All the best

I can't tell you how thrilled we are to receive the memorial bench from you. It is a superb piece of work, and I was so glad to meet you, the craftsman, in person. I am sending some photographs to members of our family today. I attach a couple for you, for your interest. I will always be happy to recommend you to others.

Gratefully, Richard (23/10/O7)

 

Apologies for the delay in responding; I have now had chance to visit the site and view  the bench we ordered from yourselves. May I say how very pleased I was with the quality of the bench. The craftsmanship in which it has been put together is more than obvious as is the superb finish. It is a fitting memorial to our friend the late Dave B. The bench was unveiled to all the contributors on the 7th September during memorial golf day and the feedback was very positive. May I take this opportunity to thank you again for your patience and the outstanding complete and personal service that you have provided.

Kind regards,

In June I took delivery of a memorial bench in Kings Norton Graveyard, Birmingham. I would like to thank you for the excellent service of delivery and installation. It is a beautiful bench and we are all very pleased with it.

Best regards

All of us at the bench ceremony yesterday just before the H AGM were most impressed with it. Most important was that N's husband Andrew ( Lord A M, Minister of....) should be pleased with it and he clearly was. He said several times how much he liked it - he commented particularly on how solid it was, the quality of the lettering and the care that had gone into consulting and deciding on the details. We also all thought the position Leila chose couldn't have been better and how well the bench had been fixed into the brickwork of the path. You may well have thought rather a lot of emails back and forth along the way but in the end you had very satisfied customers! Thanks very much again for providing us with a really fine bench in honour of someone who did a very great deal for the H and whom we wanted to remember in a way she would have liked. I am sure she too would have been delighted with the bench.

Best wishes

Thanks for the bench you installed on Ibstone common. We were very pleased with it and think it is a very impressive memorial to my parents. Please pass on my thanks to those who worked on it.

Yours sincerely,

Thank you very much for everything you have done to provide us with such a lovely memorial bench for Jessie. We really are so very pleased with it.

Thanks again.

Dear Mr and Mrs Lay, A note to thank you so much for the delivery of the bench last week. It is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and we have had many compliments, so I thought I'd pass them on to you and your team... On Monday evening there were 5 girls squashed on to it, so it will be well used, and a fitting memorial for our special 'Bod'.

Thank you again Yours,

Just to say how delighted my wife was with our "Silver Anniversary Bench". She was particularly taken by the carved inscription. The whole event was a complete surprise as planned. It now has pride of place on our patio, where she and I can enjoy the view in comfort and splendour. We both look forward to it giving us many years of enjoyment.
Thank you again for your excellent service and spot on delivery.

Regards

Dear Graham, Thank-you so much! It's wonderful to be able to see it in its full glory! Thank-you also for providing such a wonderful service, I shall recommend you to everyone I know! All the best for the future.
Kind Regards,

Wordsworth Court tell me the bench is lovely and they are very pleased with it. I understand that Mo is off sick at the moment so you did not see her, I hope this did not cause you any problems with the delivery.
I have to say it has been a pleasure dealing with you both and like a breath of fresh air to find a company who are so helpful and efficient. It goes without saying that if I can ever recommend you I will do so emphatically.

Thank you, Regards,

Susan (18/01/07)

 

Dear Graham. Thank you very much for the photos. I'm really pleased with the way the bench looks and its location - Dad would be too! I cannot emphasise enough, how pleased I am with your service - it has been really excellent, and I would not hesitate to recommend your company to others. I am now going to circulate the photos to everyone who contributed towards the cost of the bench, and I shall mention the name of your company in my accompanying letter. Please thank everyone who worked on the project on my behalf - you have a very satisfied customer!
