Memorial benches
Adur District Council provides a service to the public of installing memorial seats on council owned land. This is restricted to parks, cemeteries and some open spaces. The type of bench that we accept is restricted to four different designs (see below). This is in order to maintain continuity through out our parks and cemeteries. Unfortunately we are not able to supply benches for any other purpose or area. (The companies we use are listed at the end of the memorial bench section).
The prices are as quoted from manufacturers and exclude :
- VAT
- The cost of plaques etc
- Delivery charges
- The supply of a concrete base and installation work
Unfortunately we cannot undertake to maintain donated benches in perpetuity, however the tamper proof fixings which are used should help keep damage to a minimum.
If you would like to purchase a memorial bench we require the following information from you :
- Which bench would you like to purchase (see options below)
- Inscription details
- Where you wish the bench to be placed.
The whole process normally takes about three months.
Cavendish
Seat : £408.00
The Achilles’ Heal of seats of this type is the back slats. The
new design increases the strength of the slats, without spoiling the inherent
elegance of this design.
Kensington
Seat : £397.00
Kensington Seats are designed for locations where a ‘traditional’
appearance is important. The seats are particularly heavily constructed and
possess special features to reduce their susceptibility to damage.
Cast
Iron Bench : £342.00
These benches are very popular as they can withstand all the rough
handling imposed on seats placed in public areas and blend in well with almost
any surrounding. These benches are most suited to parks and rural areas.
Grafton
Seat : £511.00
The seat combines the quality and longevity of cast iron with a design
applicable to contemporary environments, and to areas of more traditional
architecture.
Plaques
and Engraving
All seats can be fitted with a plaque, there are three main types :
Stainless Steel, Bronze and Brass. Alternatively an inscription can be carved
into a back board. This method is particularly effective for a short inscription.
(N.B. Brass and bronze plaques will tarnish with time).
