Why Choose a Natural Stone Bench

Why Choose a Natural Stone Bench

Bergen Designs is based in Colorado, at the base of the amazingly beautiful Rocky Mountains. We are surrounded by natural beauty – and we’ve worked for over 17 years to bring this natural beauty to people with our garden memorial benches.

Our natural stone benches come directly from the mountains – an ancient sand dune in what’s known today as the Colorado Rocky Mountains, dating back 180 million years ago during the Permian Age. While other bench companies use a concrete mixture for their benches, or import marble or granite from Chine or India, our benches are U.S.A. mined from the stone in the Colorado Flatirons, an area shaped by millions of years of water, wind and time.

Natural Stone has a much more pleasing look to the eye, as many people have told us, it transforms their garden into a healing landscape versus the cold polished morbid look of marble, concrete or granite benches. Of course those other benches serve their purpose in the settings of graveyards and cemeteries, yet our natural stone memorial benches feel like they are a part of nature and blend in so wonderfully with the landscapes they adorn. We then personally inscribe your lovely inscription on the top of the bench to help it carry a beautiful reflection of your loved one’s memory.

Our customers choose our unique stone benches to honor their loved ones in a memorial setting, or as a beautiful natural feature in a garden. Other customers such as schools, churches and Parks and Rec Departments use our benches for building funds, school legacies and memorials. But no matter what, they all know that a bench from Bergen Designs will last forever.
