Basic Details To Expect When Looking Into A Funeral Catering
Despite the sadness that comes from losing a loved one, sharing a meal with others will help to provide comfort to the bereaved family and help them fellowship with other people. Funeral catering can be a bit tricky, as the family may be more pre-occupied with organizing other details of the burial. In such cases, it may be better to hire professional caterers to prepare and serve meals. Consider various factors when hiring a caterer.
Once you have decided which caterer to hire, inform them about your preferences. Let them know what you would like them to do and how you would like them to carry out various responsibilities. When doing this, keep in mind the needs of your guests and what their preferences would be.
Inform the caterer where the food will be served. This is because choice of venue will influence food choices. Fingers foods are best served if people will be in a particular place for only a short period of time and they will mostly be standing. Bigger meals can be served if people are meeting in someone's home.
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.
It is wise to think about any special needs some guests may have. For instance, there maybe some guests who are vegetarians. Make provision for this so as to accommodate them. If anyone wants to bring food, let the caterer know how to handle the situation.
When carrying out funeral catering, keep things simple and just ensure that everyone gets something to eat. You can hire a caterer for a particular day only, or you can hire their services for multiple days. You can also hire out other equipment such as tents, chairs and linens from the caterer.
