Funeral Catering FAQs

What kind of food do you serve at a funeral reception?

We are able to provide a mix of appetizers, lunch service or a sit down dinner.

Should you cater a funeral?

It can be very helpful to have your memorial or funeral catered. It takes the stress away with having a caterer that will take care of it all.

How do you plan food for a funeral?

Think about the flow you want for your event. Will guests be coming and going or will it be a more structured reception to commemorate the recently departed. This consideration is crucial to planning the food, determining whether heavy appetizers, buffet style, or a more formal sit-down meal best suits the atmosphere and pacing of the event.

How do you cater for a wake?

Check out our checklist and things to consider.

Is there usually food at a memorial service?

Yes, maybe not a full dinner but keep your guests talking with a few stationary appetizers.

Do you have staff and bartenders to serve and take care of guests?

Yes, have us make a specialty cocktail or pass appetizers. We offer bartending services and full-service staff to help support you through the event.
