Facts To Notice When Planning A Funeral Catering
Making burial arrangements can be overwhelming for a bereaved family. For this reason, it is important that they delegate anything else they can. Hiring funeral catering services will help the family ensure that attendees of the burial are well fed and taken care of. When hiring a caterer, keep a few things in mind.
Sit down with the caterer and make your needs known to them right from the start. Be direct and as clear as possible to avoid misunderstandings. Inform them about your preferences, not just about the food preparation, but how it should also be served and handled during the event. Consider the different types of people who will come when making arrangements.
The location of the event should be considered. For short events, finger foods will be a better option. For bigger gatherings, which may take time, consider serving full meals. This could be after the burial has been completed or when meetings are held in private residences.
Think about the drinks to be served. Having a variety of drinks is advisable. This is from soft drinks to alcoholic drinks. You can also serve hot drinks such as tea and coffee. Determine whether there will be someone to serve the drinks or people will serve themselves.
Consider special needs that may come up. Some people may have special dietary requirements, so make provision for this. Also, consider how you will handle cases of individuals who will bring food to the event.
You do not have to make complicated meals, keep things plain and simple. This is because people's main focus will be on the burial, rather than the food. You can hire funeral catering services on more than one occasion, as long as you can afford it. It may be necessary to hire out other equipment from the caterer, such as extra tables, chairs, tents and linens.
