Memorial Benches
One way to remember a loved one is to purchase a memorial bench for installation within Burnham Parish. This not only gives a long-lasting memorial to your loved one, but provides a much appreciate amenity for visitors and residents
​
The style of bench we use is pictured below: they are made from recycled plastic and cast iron, and will last for many years. Once your bench is installed, the Parish Council will take on ownership and the responsibility for maintaining the bench.
​
You can have the option of a memorial plaque on the bench or have the bench engraved with agreed words of your choice.

Please note
Due to the success of the scheme, and the number of benches now installed of the parts of the ‘village green’ closest to Burnham Park Hall, the Council does not intend to add further benches in that area. The preferred locations for new benches are:
​
i. The borders of the village green outside Burnham Park Hall (close to the white rail).
ii. Burnham Park, particularly in areas of the park without benches.
iii. The George Pitcher Memorial Ground (the Cherry Orchard).
iv. The Parish Council land at The Fairway or Stomp Road.
​
We are also happy to consider other locations. If a location is considered suitable but is not owned by the Parish Council then we will work with you to seek permission from the landowner.
If we cannot install a bench in your chosen location we will work with you to find the best possible alternative.
​
Please note the cost of the bench is subject to change and to any wording requested. It is the policy of the council to charge this at cost, and not to add any additional charges. Full details will be provided to you before any commitment is needed
