Memorial Bench Program

Cost for the memorial bench, including installation, is $2,500.00. 

Citizens wishing to participate in the Commemorative Memorial Park Bench may do so by completing an application form available online.

 Application Form

Benches: applications will be received annually between September and April, and will be installed beginning in June throughout the summer and fall, as weather permits. 

Township staff will determine the total number of benches to be available each year based on staffing resources and budgetary restraints. 

Benches in an outdoor setting have a reasonable life span of 10 years. The dedicated bench term will be for a period of 10 years. The fee covers the acquisition and installation of the bench, plaque with inscription, and general maintenance and repair during its useful life. 

Within this time, the Township will replace the park bench if deemed necessary by the department. The Township will not be responsible for damaged or vandalized plaques. In the event of severe bench vandalism, the plaque will be installed on another bench. The Township reserves the right to relocate the bench if unforeseen circumstances arise due to its location or setting. 

Renewal: After initial 10-year term is completed, applicant will have the option to renew for an additional 10 years at the current cost of a new bench.
