The loss of a loved one is always a difficult time and the prospect of making the arrangements for the funeral and wake can be tough.
Holding a funeral tea is the opportunity for friends and family to gather together in loving remembrance of the person who has died, to mourn their loss and celebrate their life.
It can feel like a fitting tribute to the person who has passed away and gives those who knew them the opportunity to show support and express their condolences to close family and loved ones.
If you want to remove the stress of holding your funeral tea at home, our function room at The White Swan in Dunham on Trent can make a fitting venue.
Our sympathetic, friendly and caring team can provide a selection of food and drink for mourners as they arrive to pay their respects, following the funeral.
All of the worries of organising the event can be taken away, giving you the chance to remember your loved one and celebrate their life in the supportive and warm company of others.
Funeral Tea To Remember A Loved One
There are several options available to you with regard to the type of food and drink that can be served at the funeral tea, depending on the style you feel would be most fitting. We can provide the following options and more:
- Teas and Coffees
- Sandwiches
- Alcoholic Drinks
- Finger buffet
- Sit down meal
- Delicious homemade food
Whether your loved one was a local resident, grew up nearby, or just loved the beautiful surroundings of the River Trent, the privacy of our function room, set away from the main part of the pub, means the funeral tea can be as peaceful or as celebratory as you want it to be.
You may wish to display a series of photographs of your loved one to give mourners the chance to share memories and remember them in the best possible way. It could be that you want to put on a selection of their favourite food and drink, or perhaps you want the chance to raise a glass of their favourite wine, real ale or spirit in remembrance.
We would be happy to set the room up in any way which you feel would be best and can offer a choice of music for the occasion, should you require it.
Our staff realise how important it is that these types of occasions are held in a sensitive and respectful way, in order to allow guests to mourn the loss or celebrate the life of a loved one.
That’s why we take every care to ensure that, when mourners arrive they will be greeted with a warm and respectful welcome and looked after in every way, throughout the occasion.
Give us a call today to discuss your funeral tea requirements and let us help take some of the stress out of what can often be a very difficult time.
