Memorial benches and trees

If you would like to erect a memorial bench or plant a memorial tree we will be happy to advise and assist you.


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 two 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 company we use is shown at the end of the memorial bench section).

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 SeatCavendish seat :

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. These seats are only suited to the more secure sites such as cemeteries and Bowling Greens.

 

 

 

 

 

Grafton SeatGrafton seat :

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 engravingPlaques 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.
(Note : Brass and bronze plaques will tarnish with time).

Memorial trees

Trees can be bought from the council, the purchase of the tree includes all the planting costs.

Should the tree fail in the first year a replacement would be free of charge.

The species of tree is usually selected from our own lists and will be subject to availability.

For further information and current prices please contact the Parks Services Section.
