Commemorative seats and memorial trees are a popular way of remembering loved ones, with a gift to the town or village which can be appreciated by others.
We do not have a list of trees to be considered for planting as each application is considered individually. Trees are planted between November and February.
Location
The location you wish the bench or tree to be placed must be in an area owned or managed by us.
To find out more about the purchase of a bench or the planting of a tree please complete our online enquiry form.
Unfortunately there are no spaces available for memorial benches at Coldingham Beach or on the coastal path between St Abbs and Coldingham Bay.
