The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In winter, it is dark in White Waltham by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
