A Definitive Resource in the Face of Deep Loss
In the Face of Deep Loss, Find Comfort and Peace with a Lasting Tribute Crafted with Care.
At Memorial Benches UK, we understand that the path to creating a lasting memorial is often complicated by local authority red tape, varying technical specifications and complex application forms. To mark our 25th anniversary, we have launched the National Memorial Bench Registry, a comprehensive, verified database designed to simplify the memorialisation process for families across the UK.
Bridging the Gap Between Families and Local Authorities
Every UK council, from the highlands of Scotland to the coastal parks of Cornwall, operates under a unique set of "Memorial Bench Policies." For a family, finding the correct department, let alone the permitted dimensions for a 2 seat or 3 seat bench, can be an overwhelming task during a time of grief. Our registry serves as a professional bridge, providing direct access to bereavement services and parks departments in major cities including Hull, Derby, Bradford and beyond.
Verified Technical Specifications and 2026 Fee Guides
The National Memorial Bench Registry is not merely a contact list, it is a technical manual for successful applications. We have cross referenced each entry to provide clarity on;
Permitted Bench Profiles: Guidance on whether a council requires a 2 seat, 3 seat, or 4 seat width to meet their site constraints.
Material Compliance: Information on councils that mandate FSC® certified, sustainable timber to meet 2026 environmental targets.
Plaque and Inscription Rules: Specific dimensions and material requirements for stainless steel, brass or wood engraved tributes.
Current Fee Structures: Approximate 2026 donation and maintenance costs for various UK boroughs.
Expertise and Trust - Why We Built This Registry
For over two decades our Ticehurst office has acted as a professional liaison for families and trade partners. We recognised that the lack of centralised information often led to rejected applications or the purchase of non compliant furniture. By providing this registry, we ensure that your chosen tribute, crafted from our Grade A teak heartwood with a 25 year natural lifespan, meets every safety and aesthetic standard required by your local authority.
Your Success Is Our Priority
Our commitment to personalisation, expertise and trust means we go beyond the sale. For every entry in our registry, our team can provide a "Full Data Pack" containing technical blueprints, FSC® certification and public liability insurance. This documentation is designed to give your application the highest possible chance of being accepted and installed without delay.
