Funeral Wakes & Receptions Watford
Losing a loved one is never easy and is a time of great stress. There is so much going on with funeral arrangements and getting death certificates, that often the bereaved don't get a chance to grieve until after the day of the funeral.
Halsey Hall can help relieve part of that stress by taking the organisation of the wake, or funeral tea, off your shoulders. Just tell us what you would like and we will make it happen, giving you time to grieve and remember after the funeral service.
A Time to Remember
The funeral tea is a time for family and friends to get together and celebrate a life no longer with us. It's a time for memories, humour and anecdotes about the departed and a time to remember everything good about a loved one no longer with us.
It's also a time when family and friends, who may not have seen each other for years, meet again, albeit at a sad occasion. It is not a time to be rushed, but a time to allow that grieving process to start.
At Halsey Hall we offer respect for the occasion and our staff will go out of their way to ensure the day runs smoothly without placing any additional stress on the family.

Arranging a Funeral Wake
As soon as you have a date for the funeral simply contact us to place your venue booking. We will ask you a few simple questions regarding the type of funeral tea you would like and whether you have friends and family with specific dietary needs. We will also ask you the name ofyour funeral director.
We will then send you suggested menus, or you can brief us about what you would like served. All menus can be amended to suit your needs.
That is all you need to do. We will liaise with your funeral director so that we know what time to expect guests. We will then serve your refreshments at the time you designate and ensure sufficient serving staff are there to cater for your guests.
