What To Know When Organizing A Funeral Catering
There is usually a lot to be done when organizing for a burial. For this reason, you can delegate as much work as possible to make things more manageable for the bereaved family. This includes organizing for the funeral catering. When hiring a professional caterer, take into consideration a number of things.
Inform the caterer about what you would like. You can give them specific guidelines or general guidelines about the kinds of foods to be served and how to go about it. This will help the caterer to organize themselves and make things go more smoothly. Plan to provide foods that attendees will enjoy. Take into consideration the culture of the families and people involved.
Inform the caterer where the food will be served. This is because choice of venue will influence food choices. Fingers foods are best served if people will be in a particular place for only a short period of time and they will mostly be standing. Bigger meals can be served if people are meeting in someone's home.
Think about the drinks to be served. Having a variety of drinks is advisable. This is from soft drinks to alcoholic drinks. You can also serve hot drinks such as tea and coffee. Determine whether there will be someone to serve the drinks or people will serve themselves.
Consider special needs that may come up. Some people may have special dietary requirements, so make provision for this. Also, consider how you will handle cases of individuals who will bring food to the event.
Since a lot of focus will be on the burial rather than the food, it is okay to keep things simple and plain. You can hire funeral catering services for as long as you want. They can cater for one or more events, as long as you need them. If you need any additional equipment, such as chairs, tables, cutlery and chinaware, you can also hire them from the caterer.
