Bench Dedication

Dedicating a bench with a personalized bronze plaque keeps your loved one's memory alive while providing a welcoming place for residents, staff, and visitors to relax and reflect. The cost of a bench is $2,000. This price includes the bench purchase cost, delivery, plaque engraving, and a donation directly to the fund of your choice.

• Our weatherproof Sterling benches have a 50 year lifetime guarantee;
• Bronze plaque engraving is limited to three lines of 20 characters per line, including spaces;
• Discuss with us your wishes for the placement of the bench.

Bench availability is limited. Benches can be purchased through a payment plan or a one-time payment by cash, cheque (payable to OFRA), credit card or electronic fund transfer.

Rose Garden Plaques

Located beside the serene pond in the courtyard is our Friendship Rose Garden! Beautiful rose bushes bloom around engraved plaque stakes that are honoring or memorializing loved ones.

Rose plaques are purchased and placed on an annual basis for $30 each. Engraving is limited to two lines with 15 characters per line. When dedicating a rose to honor a loved one still with us, we send them a card to let them know you are thinking of them!
