Planning Funeral Catering: Essential Considerations
When organising a funeral, catering is an important aspect to ensure guests are comforted and nourished. Here are some key considerations:
🥪Guest Count: Estimate the number of attendees to determine the amount of food and drink needed.
🥪Menu Selection: Choose a menu that reflects the preferences and dietary needs of your guests. Offering a variety of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free, ensures everyone is accommodated.
🥪Cultural and Religious Practices: Respect and incorporate any specific cultural or religious food traditions that are meaningful to the family and guests.
🥪Venue Limitations: Check if the funeral venue has any restrictions on food and beverage services. Some may have preferred caterers or limitations on certain types of food.
🥪Budget: Determine a budget and find catering options that provide quality within that range. Many caterers offer packages that can simplify the selection process.
🥪Service Style: Decide between a sit-down meal, buffet, or simple refreshments. Consider the formality of the event and the comfort of your guests.
🥪Personal Touches: Incorporate favourite dishes of the deceased or family traditions to add a personal touch to the catering.
