What is a Repast or Post Funeral Reception
A repast is a celebration after the funeral ceremony in the Church hall. In modern times, it consists of going to a venue for a light meal and trading stories with a gathering of people.
Celebration of life is the best way to explain a repast. What can sometimes be seen as a challenging time for many, In Ireland a memorial service is usually a celebration of the life a loved one lived.
Incorporating elements such as memory tables or photo walls
A memorial ceremony often includes a small number of offerings to help you through the mourning process. Candle vigils, memory books, photo walls or memorial trees are some of the special types of momentos we see at the Crowne Plaza post funeral receptions.
Our compassionate staff can help you to set up an area for your guests to share their memories.
