What To Expect When Organizing Catering For Funeral Services
There is usually a lot to be done when organizing for a burial. For this reason, you can delegate as much work as possible to make things more manageable for the bereaved family. This includes organizing for the funeral catering. When hiring a professional caterer, take into consideration a number of things.
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.
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.
Beverages should be factored into the menu. Ensure there is lots of drinking water and soft drinks are available. You can also include alcoholic drinks, depending on the circumstances and type of guests attending the event. You can also have hot drinks served.
Factor in any special needs that some guests may have. For instance, include alternatives for vegetarians. Consider the fact that some guests may want to bring foods. Inform the caterer how to handle this and organize how to thank the people who bring foods later on.
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.
