Client Background
A long-established funeral director in Teignmouth, Devon, approached Ardo Group with the need for a modern mortuary solution. The existing facility no longer met operational requirements, and the client wanted to optimise limited space while significantly increasing storage capacity.
The Challenge
The primary challenge was to design and install a mortuary room within a restricted footprint, while ensuring the build complemented the client’s existing premises. The project also required the safe dismantling of the old mortuary store prior to construction, with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
Our Solution
Ardo Group designed a bespoke open-access mortuary room tailored to the client’s requirements. The installation incorporated a part-sloping roof to maximise vertical space and improve usability.
Key Features
- Optimised dimensions: 4.6m x 3.2m x 2.2m (1.75m at slope)
- Custom-made access door for durability and ease of use
- J&E Hall split refrigeration system with wedge evaporator for reliable performance
- Efficient project delivery: fully installed and commissioned in just 3 days
- Enhanced capacity: delivers six times more storage compared to the previous facility
The Outcome
The client now benefits from a highly functional, tailored mortuary room that maximises space and efficiency. By combining expert design with precision engineering, Ardo Group delivered a future-proof solution that supports the funeral director’s operations while significantly expanding storage capacity.
Conclusion
This project demonstrates Ardo Group’s ability to create bespoke mortuary installations that are tailored to fit and built to perform. Through a combination of custom design, advanced refrigeration technology, and rapid installation, we provided a solution that exceeded expectations.
