InvoCare will have a staff member on-site at each chapel from Monday morning to assist you to monitor the number of people attending each service. If more people attend than expected you will also need to ensure the maximum space limits are not exceeded. Once the maximum capacity is reached, you are welcome to direct the extra guests to the outside space where the service can play through external monitors and speakers. To support these changes, we have prepared signage noting the capacity limits for each chapel.
In the interests of health and wellbeing, we strongly recommend that gatherings be limited to immediate family only, and be listed as private, as this will assist us all to reduce funeral numbers. We appreciate your assistance and cooperation in helping us all remain compliant with the government’s new rules. As things are changing rapidly, this advice may change.
