Funeral Wake
A wake is a gathering held to honour and remember your loved one. The wake allows family members, friends and community members to come together, offer condolences, share memories and provide support to the bereaved family.
Planning a Funeral Wake
Select a meaningful location like a family home, community hall, or function space. Schedule the wake, typically following the funeral or memorial service, to allow attendees to gather and pay their respects.
Arrange for catering or organise refreshments based on preferences and budget. Options can range from light snacks to a full meal, ensuring there’s enough for all guests.
Display photos, videos that celebrate the life of your loved one. You may also plan for speeches, readings, or music that reflect their personality and memories.
Provide a guestbook for attendees to share their thoughts and memories. Arrange seating and ensure the space is comfortable for guests. Offer transportation if needed, especially for those coming from the funeral service.
Consider cultural or religious customs when planning the wake. Manage permits, parking, or other logistical needs for larger gatherings. Communicate details clearly to guests through invitations or announcements.
