FUNERAL RECEPTION PLANNING
The funeral reception often called a wake, luncheon, repast, repass is a good occasion for you to surround yourself with friends and family, to get support and to remember the one who passed away.
Most families will choose to gather immediately after the funeral at a restaurant, private residence or gathering hall. It is customary for you to serve food and beverages and to give people from all the walks of lifetime to get to know each other and share memories and how they are connected to the deceased.
Memorial Services
We will help you put together a memorial service, on request. A memorial service is a way to remember the one who passed away and to honor their life. Sometimes, memorial services are held instead of a funeral and sometimes they are held after the funeral.
It is a good time for you to encourage story sharing and bonding with and between your guests.
