The Funeral Reception

The funeral reception serves a practical purpose, to refresh mourners who may have travelled some distance and are in need of sustenance, and to provide an opportunity for family and friends to congregate and reminisce.

There are many choices available in terms of the type of venue and the service that may be provided. Many of the families we serve choose to host a funeral reception in a hotel or public house, with the provision of buffet catering, tea and coffee, as well as alcoholic beverages. Some families choose to have a more formal meal in a restaurant, whilst a large number of people choose to have friends and relatives congregate at the family home.

If you are planning to host a funeral reception, we can ensure that all members of the funeral party are informed, and we will be happy to arrange transportation with additional limousines or a coach service should this be deemed necessary. Furthermore, we are happy to advise you on the wide array of catering and service options that are available.

Below is a list of venues which we have found to be suitable for hosting funeral reception events. At the bottom of the page, you will find listings for catering companies, should you choose to host an event in a private house, or in a venue that is unable to provide catering services. As with all the services we provide, we will be happy to help you in choosing a suitable venue, and to handle all the necessary arrangements. Please speak to your funeral director for further information.
