Receptions following funerals or memorial services range from simple coffee, punch and cookies for an hour at the funeral home or a light lunch of finger food for a stand up reception, to a full buffet meal with staff and beverages.
We know this is a hard time for families – too many things to do in a short period of time and under emotional distress.
Our event planners can help you with menu choices and quantities, either over the phone or during a brief meeting. For larger catered receptions, you may need to plan for staff for the set up and clean up, leaving the family free to greet attendees.
The following menus range from very simple to more substantial. Of course, we are always happy to adjust the menus to make everything just right for you and your family. If you would like us to create a custom menu for you, we would be happy to do so.
Other sections of our web site that have menus that would be suitable for a wake or memorial reception are: Appetizer Buffets , Rehearsal Dinners , Wedding Menus , and Picnics .
Prices given are for menu items only. Delivery or serving staff, linens, paper products or china, service charge and sales tax are additional. Gratuities are left to your discretion.
