We've launched a flexible body fridge for funeral sector

For anyone operating in the funeral sector they might be interested to learn that we have  launched a new range of compact body fridges for permanent or flexible cold storage.
The Compact Body Fridge was developed to answer a long-standing demand from mortuaries and funeral parlours looking for a competitively-priced chilled space solution in confined areas.
Quickly and easily assembled in a wide variety of locations, the Compact Body Fridge uses a unique track and roller system, for ease of installation, with a two-way pelmet to keep the cold in, and ambient air out.  The versatility of the system means that a Compact Body Fridge of any shape and size can be assembled to match any environment.
Arthur Kershaw Funeral Services in Sale, Cheshire, installed one six months ago and they have given us some great feedback. Philip Beardsley, funeral director, said: “We were looking for a new refrigeration unit which would fit in well at our premises and Ferno was my first port of call. It is a well established company which we have a good relationship with and I have always found their products to be good value and fit-for-purpose.
“The refrigeration unit is a modern piece of technology, which is easy to maintain and can be adapted to fit any size of work area. It is also very easy to work with in terms of accessibility and avoids the need to pull out trays; instead we simply draw back the curtain. It fits the bill perfectly.”
A Flexible Body Fridge is also available as a temporary solution for mortuary and funeral parlours which only need a cold-storage unit on an ad hoc basis. It can also be used in the field by emergency services to store bodies in the event of a major disaster resulting in mass casualties.
Ferno’s Jon Ellis of Ferno, said: “We developed the Compact Body Fridge following demand from our customers in the funeral and mortuary sector who were looking for a cost effective alternative to big fixed chiller units.
“When not in use the Compact Body Fridge can simply be folded away, freeing up space and cutting energy bills.”
Operational in minutes, the Compact Body Fridges are a modern, inexpensive and practical solution where high capacity chilled storage is urgently required. Key features include:

• Effective preservation awaiting transfer of bodies to hospitals or funeral parlours
• Easy to move or extend one already installed
• Highly economical - using power only when required
• Lightweight, hardwearing curtains - easy to clean and repair
• Cold lock skirt adjusts to uneven floors
• Ferno can provide a free site survey before advising on the best Compact Body Fridge unit for your premises before installation.

We also offer a range of refrigeration products including cold chambers and refrigerated tables. Preparation equipment ranges from lifting equipment, embalming and autopsy tables and mortuary trolleys. Restroom equipment includes church and showroom trolleys, trestles and biers.
