Our main chapel at Kapiti Coast Funeral Home has been designed in such a way that the furniture can be easily moved and changed around. Whether it is to maximise the space to fit 100+ attendees in a more formal set up or expand the chapel size by opening the bi-fold doors that can then be set up with another 100 chairs allowing the space to accommodate 200 people or the opposite where removing a lot of the chairs out and creating a small semi-circle to give an intimate feel for a smaller more intimate group of 25 – 30.
Having separate chairs that can be repositioned easily is a real positive and sets us apart from chapels that have fixed pews. Having movable chairs also gives room for artistic licence for a family when wanting to personalise the space.
Live streaming is free when our chapel is used, and even with moving the seating around it still operates well. We have cameras on both sides of the chapel, and that can both ‘Pan’ and ‘Zoom’ and easily provide a great vantage point. Having items in the chapel to personalise the ‘space’ provided is also encouraged and we love to see artwork, quilting, sports equipment in fact almost anything on displayed to help give our space the feel of your space when honouring a life well-lived.
We pride ourselves in providing versatility, flexibility, and personalisation for the families we serve, and our chapel flexibility is another thing that helps set us apart.
