Crematoria

On what will be the most difficult of days, it goes without saying that anything that can be done for mourners that will make their attendance at chapel just a little bit more comfortable would be greatly appreciated by all.

Clovis Canopies supply porte-cochère / carriage porches, shelters, and walkway cover to business owners and operators in the funeral sector that provides all-around weather protection to mourners and floral tributes at the funeral and memorial services.

On arrival mourners and funeral directors exit their vehicles and then enter the chapel, this sensitive stage of the proceedings can be made a little easier under the cover of a porte-cochère / carriage porch. After the service, the mourners exit the chapel and move on to the flower garden where they will view the flowers and tributes, under shelter they would be in a relaxed environment whilst protected from the elements. From the flower garden, people can then move on to visit the memorial gardens, if they wish, where the pathways and viewing areas can have walkway covers allowing mourners to take their time whilst paying their respects.

As well as porte-cochères / carriage porches, shelters and walkway covers, Clovis can supply canopies for waiting and overflow areas if required. We have many solutions for a variety of scenarios, contact us today to see how we can help.

We also provide canopies for the following industries:

Clovis provides an excellent design service offering 2D and 3D drawing of the proposed canopies and quotation stage if required. This can be especially helpful to illustrate the proposed canopy to the client or Local planning Authority. Clovis will also visit the site if the host building has a complication or the canopy has an unusual configuration. When an order has been placed, service continues to be timely and flexible and the end product has always been delivered and installed on programme and to a very high standard. I have worked with Clovis Canopies for several years and have always found their response to be prompt, helpful an knowledgeable. We test the market value for every canopy that we procure and have found Clovis to be good value. I am often asked to pass on Clovis’s contact details to those who have seen the canopies.

We would like to take this opportunity of thanking Clovis Canopies for supplying and installing a superb shade canopy over our Foundation Stage play area which is proving to be “all weather”! The work was completed on schedule and to our complete satisfaction. Your company listened to our requests, provided a canopy which met all our requirements and was constructed with the minimum of fuss whilst the school was in session. The tradesmen who erected the canopy were most accommodating to the needs of the children and school and arranged their work schedule around the children’s play times. No request was ever too much trouble. I was particularly impressed with the regard the workmen paid to health and safety and with keeping the worksite clean and tidy. I also have to congratulate you on your professionalism and aftercare service, which has been second to none. A huge thank you to all of your staff. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Clovis Canopies.

We always advise that you call your local planning authority as there are no hard and fast rules. They will advise on whether you require planning permission for your proposed canopy. Although it differs from region to region canopies under 30m2 may not require permission but this can be affected by situations such as proximity to neighbours, listed building status, conservation areas etc. so it always best to check. We are happy to provide free of charge, scaled drawings etc. of the proposed canopy structure to assist your application should you require.
