Burslem Cemetery: communal seat
To quote the Bereavement Care service notice in Link :
"The seat is hexagonal in shape and is made up of six smaller seats. Each smaller seat will have two inscribed markers. Families can lease one or both of the plaques on the seat. Each plaque will display an inscription (message) of your choice in gold lettering. The plaques are available to lease for a period of 5 years."

Burslem Cemetery
Burslem Cemetery opened in 1879 and covers approximately 28 acres. When opened it was intended to be a "a recreation park, to be used for walking, riding and driving" as well as a cemetery and at least a third of the land was taken up with the lodges, chapel, walks & drives. Only about five and a half acres was laid out for burials.

The fine mortuary chapel was demolished in late 2008 on grounds of health and safety and maintenance costs.
