About fifteen years, after which a decision has to be made
What it costs
Eleven hundred pounds including the bench, the plaque, the base, and installation. There is no annual charge.
How long it lasts
About fifteen years for oak in this position. After that it needs replacing, and we will contact whoever we have on record.
What happens then
The family can fund a replacement, or the plaque is moved to a new bench, or it is retired. All three happen and none is wrong.
