Overcoming the Challenges of Worcester Approval

Worcester City Council maintains a rigorous management plan for its green spaces and bereavement services to ensure all new furniture contributes to the city's unique character. To maintain the integrity of sites like Cripplegate Park or the riverside meadows the council requires furniture of institutional quality that is sustainably sourced. Families often find the technical requirements for sustainable hardwood and the specific leasehold terms for cemetery dedications to be a significant barrier. We bridge this gap by providing the council with a comprehensive trade data pack. This documentation confirms our Grade A teak is 100% FSC certified proving your memorial is a 25 year asset designed for public safety.

Heritage Grade Specifications for Cathedral City Parks

To ensure your tribute remains a dignified landmark we only supply timber scrupulously checked for grain density and structural integrity. Our Great Maytham range is an excellent choice for Worcester because its extra heavyweight profile and traditional mortise and tenon joinery meet the structural requirements for popular riverside sites while providing the classic look required for the city’s historic Victorian cemeteries like Astwood or St John's.
