Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan for a few extra people
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Plan seating for older guests
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
