Wakes & Receptions

A time to gather, reflect, and remember - your way.

Whether as an intimate gathering or a larger event receptions and wakes and post funeral events offer family and friends a shared moment of connection. They are often the reason that people have an attended funeral. We can help to plan these moments with warmth, dignity, and a personal touch.

What a reception can be:

  • An essential opportunity to gather - fitting for small, private groups or larger events.
  • Held at a casual, post - committal location where guests can pay their respects and share memories.
  • A chance to offer refreshments, readings, photographs, or tribute tables.
  • Sessions hosted at venues across North London, or even in our peaceful space used for vigils or celebrations at our Head Office in Camden.
