Funeral Catering in Dorset
What we offer.
We understand that you might not have had to arrange a funeral before, so feel free to lean on us for advice and we'll guide you as best we can. Our teams are sensitive, kind and professional. We'll look after you and your family and friends as if they were our own.
From the moment you enquire to the moment we clear away, you are in good hands — because we really care.
A fitting tribute
What you can expect.
Funerals and wakes are as individual as the person whose life is being celebrated. There is no "one size fits all" and we'll always help make sure that the final tribute is right for your family.
We've been involved in a game of bingo before serving the buffet, taken the family dog for a walk before everyone came back from the crematorium — whatever makes the day feel right. We want a difficult day to be as easy as it can be for you.
We'll take care of it
What you don't have to worry about.
We can be there for you whether it's at your family home, a community hall, or another venue — either as a fully staffed service or just delivery and set up for you to help yourselves.
Hot or cold buffets, ploughmans, afternoon teas, tea, coffee, soft drinks or a selection of wines and beers if preferred. All diets catered for with labelled items on the table. Vintage china, classic white or good-quality disposables, with white linen on the tables.
Not in the mood for eating at the wake? Don't worry — it's normal. We'll pack any leftovers for you to take away and eat later, or to give to family and friends who have a longer journey home ahead of them.
