Memorial Catering

There is no doubt that the death of a loved one can be tragic. As you plan a funeral or memorial service to honor that person’s life, try to keep in mind that the event does not have to be an entirely somber occasion. While it can often be a confusing or sad time, it can also be a time of reflection and appreciation of that person and the life that they lived.

After the service is over, guests will most likely want to catch up and talk, especially to talk about the memories they have of the deceased. Providing at least some beverages and snacks to these people is the polite thing to do, but what if you feel like providing an actual meal for those who have come to celebrate this person’s life?

From breakfast and brunch to lunch and dinner, you can provide the guests with a full meal. While hiring a professional catering service can ensure that the guests do not return home hungry, it will also provide everyone with a chance to celebrate and fondly remember your loved one’s life. What better way is there to honor a person’s life than to offer up a tasteful feast? As friends, family members, and co-workers gather around one another, they will be able to share fond memories of the deceased in between bites of thoughtfully prepared food.

A memorial service or post-funeral reception is typically held at the family’s home, a place of worship, or at a restaurant. As you can see, there or no strict rules as to where the reception should take place. It is a matter that can be discussed and agreed upon by immediate family members.If you are new to these types of events, don’t worry. Our staff can help you figure out the right menu for a memorial service. We can work with you to ensure that you have enough food at the memorial as well.

In solemn times like these, comfort food might be the right thing to help raise the spirits of those attending the memorial. From potato salad and sandwiches to cake and assorted pastries, we can provide you with a wide variety of options that will help you create an appropriate menu for your memorial.

Because a memorial is a much different occasion compared to the average social event, there are a few things to consider that you normally wouldn’t need to think about. In terms of choosing the menu, you might want to choose foods that the late individual would have enjoyed. Serving this loved one’s favorite meal can be a wonderful way to celebrate and remember them.

Within some communities, it can often be traditional for friends or family members to bring food to the deceased’s immediate family. If you plan on serving professionally-catered food, you can let the guests know that food will be served so they know that they will not need to contribute food for the occasion.
