Expert Liaison for Cornwall Council

Cornwall is a county of unparalleled coastal beauty and rugged landscapes from the iconic cliffs of Land’s End to the tranquil gardens of Penzance and Truro. We understand that applying for a memorial in the Duchy can be a complex administrative hurdle particularly with the extreme maritime exposure and the council's rigorous standards for public furniture. At Memorial Benches UK we specialise in removing these challenges acting as your professional technical partner to ensure your memorial bench meets Cornwall Council’s strict Heritage Grade standards for durability and salt air resilience.

Overcoming the Challenges of Cornwall Council Approval

Cornwall Council maintains a comprehensive management plan for its vast array of parks open spaces and cemeteries to ensure all new furniture withstands the Atlantic climate. To protect the character of sites like Boscawen Park or the various coastal paths the council requires furniture of institutional quality that is sustainably sourced. Families often find the technical requirements for maritime grade timber and the logistical coordination across such a large county to be a significant barrier. We bridge this gap by providing the council with a comprehensive trade data pack. This documentation confirms our Grade A teak is 100% FSC certified proving your memorial is a 25 year asset designed for public safety.
