Funeral Receptions & Wakes

Celebrating the life of a loved one

It is often tradition to have a reception or wake after a funeral service providing an opportunity to bring family and friends of a loved one together to reminisce and support one another in this time of grief.

Post-funeral arrangements have become increasingly elaborate as more and more people view the event as a celebration of a life. We offer support in arranging a reception which can include catering and entertainment which may involve photo slides, videos and music.

We can arrange a funeral wake or reception for you at no additional cost.
