Memorial Furniture

The memorial furniture program provides residents an opportunity to honour loved ones,  families or groups through the installation of a bench or picnic table with a beautiful bronze plaque. This program is intended to memorialize people and is not extended to animals.

Memorial furniture is purchased and installed by the Town of Cochrane through a donation process. The furniture is donated for placement in various parks, pathways, playgrounds and open spaces. Cochrane, then maintains this furniture as part of our infrastructure.
