The Town of Osoyoos is not taking new orders for the Memorial Bench Program at this time. Staff are currently working on a more sustainable and viable alternative for families to honour their loved ones. 

If you wish to be contacted regarding the new memorial program once it is in place, or you have questions regarding the former Memorial Bench Program, please contact Community Services. 

A memorial tribute is a lasting legacy; to honor the memory of a friend or loved one and to the community where the furnishing is placed. Memorial benches/picnic tables may be placed on municipal sidewalks, parks, or trails. Memorial plaques feature raised bronze lettering with brown accent background. The installation offers a flush finish with the plaque installed on either left side, right side, or centered on the slat, providing a clean and comfortable installation. Plaques are 8" x 3" x 3/8" installed on a horizontal face only for reasons of durability and comfort. Plaques are limited to 3 lines of text and 40 characters per line.

Memorial benches remain the property of the Town of Osoyoos.  The Town will not replace a damaged or deteriorated bench with a new memorial bench after 10 years.  The Town reserves the right to remove or move a bench at any time without notification to the applicant.
Please allow 8-12 weeks from the time of ordering your memorial bench for it to be installed. Please note that all orders received between July 20 and August 3 will have an additional wait time as our manufacturer shuts down for a break during this time.
