Frequently Asked Questions

Since you don’t make the memorial plaques, how do I get a memorial plaque made? How does this process work?

Your best bet in terms of getting a plaque made just the way you’d like is to find a local engraver or trophy shop. This way you can touch and feel the different materials available and lay out the plaque’s font and spacing just the way you want.

If you can’t find a local engraver, you can use our engraver in Santa Rosa, CA. Janet at Jay’s Engraving is a pleasure to work with. You can contact her at:

Kid's Luna Bench with Memorial Plaque

I’m interested in purchasing a Luna Bench and adding a memorial plaque. Where is the best place to add it?

There are a couple of choices for where to place a plaque on the Luna Bench:

1. We can place the plaque on the timber in the front and just below the seat. I’d keep the plaque to a maximum of 3 inches tall. The length can be up to 18 inches if necessary. But, with plaques, our experience is that often times less is more. The plaque would be centered unless you prefer it to one side.
2. The other option is to cut in partially into a few of the backrest slats and inlay the plaque towards the top of the backrest and centered.

An alternative to a memorial plaque is to have us engrave a message across the front board under the seat. It is attractive and will cut down the amount of time to complete the project.

What are the maximum dimensions allowable for a memorial plaque for the top rail of the Ti Amo Bench?

You can have a plaque up to 3 inches tall and any width you like. The board is 3 3/4″ tall. By keeping the height of the plaque to 3 inches, you allow a bit of spacing above and below the plaque which looks best.

The Ti Amo Memorial Bench— often purchased to honor the memory of a beloved person or significant event— can be adorned with a memorial plaque. You must provide the plaque, but we will install it for no extra charge.

An engraving example using the name of our non-profit

I’d like to add our company’s initials to the stool we just purchased. Can you do this for us?

Yes, we offer a custom engraving option. We can place up to 15 letters/spaces per foot. The letters are about 1 1/4″ tall. They are stenciled by hand using a computer printout of the phrase, sentence, or passage(s) you’d like to add. Then using a router, the letters are cut into the wood, painted and sanded to leave only the black lettering. The cost is $20 to $30 depending on the number of letters involved. Just let us know what you’d like.
