The Funeral Home

The Funeral Home is the structure that allows the funeral business to stand out, offering the grieving family a superior service. The Funeral Home offers families the possibility to wake the loved ones at any time, in comfortable environments and enjoying the continous assistance of the staff.

The design and construction of a Funeral Home requires professionals with knowledge of the relevant regulations and with specific skills in structuring the project based on the function performed by each room, both in terms of architecture, systems, hygiene and health requirements and technologies that each Funeral Home must be equipped with for optimal functioning.

From the reception areas, to the offices for the definition of the funeral, to the showroom where the coffins, urns, and all the  burial equipment are displayed. Furthermore, the technical areas and rooms for the conservation and preparation of the body for display and the living rooms for families, each one adjacent to the relevant viewing room. All the funeral home areas require a design that ensures comfort and a relaxing environment for the family members to live the most delicate moments of farewell and receive visits from relatives and friends. These rooms should possibly be accessible from separate entrances to ensure maximum privacy.
Last but not least, the farewell room. Usually, there are more than one viewing room and they are designed in a sober and elegant style, designed to adapt to the different farewell rites: they can be set up for religious rites, with the various symbols, but they can also be adapted to the secular ritual, with the possibility of projecting images, films and broadcasting audio and music during the funeral ceremony.

The Farewell Room

Used mostly for non-religious funeral ceremonies, the Farewell Rooms are structures designed to host the farewell ceremony, before cremation or burial.

Municipalities, Cemeteries and Crematoriums are equipped with Farewell Rooms to respond to family requests for the celebration of the funeral rite, when it does not take place in religious premises.
The Farewell Room is set up to accommodate all participants in the commemoration of the deceased; therefore, it  shall comply with the technical and health and hygiene regulations in force for this service.

Unlike the viewing room, inside hospital facilities or funeral homes, in the Farewell Room the funeral wake and ceremony is only possible with the coffin closed.
