Worthing Crematorium Worthing Borough Council

The Maxim Deluxe Chair (A161) The R1 Chair (A100)

Above: 200 Maxim Deluxe chairs installed in the Kingswood Chapel. Date of installation: August 2007.

Above: 100 R1 chairs installed in Muntham Chapel.

Set amongst natural woodland in the countryside, Worthing Crematorium and the picturesque surroundings are a haven for wildlife.

Originally built in the 1960’s to replace the small family chapel with a larger more modern 160 seat chapel including ancillary room areas.

Worthing Crematoriums first contact with Rosehill was in 2000 when the Executive Member for Crematorium Services requested that the seating in the then larger chapel be reviewed with the brief of increasing the capacity from 50 to 100, and improving the comfort.

Kingswood Chapel

“We contacted numerous suppliers of furniture. Rosehill were by far the most helpful, supplying drawings, showing best layouts, sending and collecting sample chairs and fabric swatches.

"The selection for an approved supplier for seating in the Kingswood Chapel was an easy choice to return to Rosehill, and they again successfully won the contract and again we received excellent support and help for this order for over 200 chairs

Quotations were sought from three of the more proactive suppliers, I am pleased to say that Rosehill were well within budget. However this authority does not just use the cheapest quote but looks at the best value.

The project was successfully completed without inconvenience to the service provided by the crematorium."

South Lanarkshire Crematorium South Lanarkshire Council

The Integra Church Chair (A115)

Above: 160 Integra chairs installed at South Lanarkshire Crematorium, Date of installation: July 2006.

South Lanarkshire is one of the few public authority crematoriums with abatement equipment, and therefore one of the first in the UK and the first in Scotland to comply with the new European limits on mercury emissions. A brand new crematorium costing £4.6million built at Sydes Brae, Blantyre on the outskirts of the town near to the countryside, with views overlooking the Clyde Valley

“As soon as we saw the product we knew we were getting value for money. The chairs are practical and comfortable.

The people who use them like the versatility of removing the end chair for wheelchair users, allowing families to sit together in their time of need.”

Cremation accounts for 71% of all funerals in the UK and prior to South Lanarkshire Crematorium local residents had no other option than to use a Crematorium outside their borders which resulted in a surcharge.

The Crematorium provides a much needed service and has received strong support from all religious groups and funeral directors, including those from outside the area.

If you would like the flexibility shown here for your organisation please call Rosehill Furniture Group on:

0161 485 1717 Our showroom is open to anyone who would like to visit and our staff would be pleased to see you.

If you cannot visit, we are more than happy to supply sample chairs so you can try the chairs and pick the one that best suits your needs.

South Lanarkshire Crematorium had to go through the normal procurement procedure looking at various furniture suppliers and obtaining a number of quotations. They had seen Rosehills products installed at a different location and so made sure that Rosehill were one of the companies they approached. The brief was not to look simply at cost or quality but value for money.

Rosehill supplied various samples of chairs and fabrics and the Crematorium ordered 160 Integra chairs in June 2006
