Funeral facilities

Prefectures grant authorisations on the basis of inspection reports from an accredited body.

To make these requirements easier to meet:

  • we work in most regions of France;
  • inspections take place on your premises, vehicles included;
  • we intervene and deliver our reports quickly.

Compliance audit before commissioning

When taking over, building or commissioning a funeral facility, there is a risk of non-compliance if the regulations have not been fully understood. Our audit lets you control that risk and make sure you can operate the facility without being refused approval for non-compliance.

  • For: operators, clients, architects, installers.
  • How: on-site visit, review of the plans and work with the project owner.
  • Price: quote on request, depending on the size and location of the facility. Contact us.
