Birmingham's Memorial Bench Program

Welcome to our Memorial Bench Program! This offers a unique way to honor loved ones, celebrate special moments, or contribute to your community in a meaningful way. By dedicating a bench, you create a lasting tribute that provides a space for reflection and connection, complete with a personalized QR Plaque linking to your own Digital Story.

Why Participate?

1. Create a Lasting Tribute: Dedicate a bench that symbolizes your connection to the community and tells your story for generations to come.
2. Share Your Legacy: Each bench includes a QR Plaque that links to a Digital Story, allowing you to share photos, captions, and memories.
3. Enhance Community Spaces: Your dedication helps improve public areas, creating inviting spaces for all to enjoy.
