Memorial Seats

The memorial seat scheme has proved to be a very popular way of remembering loved ones, with a gift to the city which will be appreciated by many people.  We are able to offer two alternative seats, depending on their location:

The Baltimore Seat     £1251.38 inc. VAT
Robust hardwood timber seat with cast iron ends.  This seat is for locations along and around Southsea Seafront, subject to available space.

The Ogilvie Seat     £921.20 inc. VAT
Robust all metal seat.
This seat is for all other locations such as parks, gardens, bowling greens and cemeteries.

Refurbished Baltimore Seat     £587.50 inc. VAT
We are currently unable to add additional seats to the seafront promenade as there are plenty here already.  However there are a limited number of seats on the promenade which can be fully refurbished and have a memorial plaque added.

The price of these seats includes delivery and installation.  In addition, a bronze metal plaque with approximately 60 letters fixed to the seat costs in the region of £56.40 inc. VAT (this cost varies according to the length of inscription).

Orders for a memorial seat and plaque may take 8-10 weeks to be ordered and installed.  A non-returnable deposit of £100 per seat is required when applying for a memorial seat.
