FDNY Pipes & Drums Bench

Memorials

This polished granite memorial bench stands as a powerful dual tribute to the 343 heroes of 9/11 and the profound dedication of the FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums. The bench honours the band members who selflessly played at every funeral and memorial service for their fallen brothers.

Gifted by the Manning Family – representing FDNY Ladder 43 – the stone also bears a special blessing for the garden’s founder, Kathleen Murphy.

Situated near the central monuments, it offers visitors a meaningful place to sit, reflect, and never forget.
