For those who have experienced a bereavement we offer a sensitive, caring and considerate service to help you with the organisation of a funeral reception.

Planning a reception for a loved one after the funeral service can be a traditional or unique affair and our team at Hotel Sheraton can assist in helping you to make it as personalised as you need it to be. Whether you choose a Wake steeped in custom or simply a casual get-together, we understand it is a time to bring extended families together to say goodbye to a loved one.

We have found that for some people Wakes are changing and becoming more of a celebration of life, some people may choose to organise entertainment such as music, a singer or band, slide shows, photographs, flowers and even go to the detail of a bespoke colour scheme – We can organise the print and display of photos or posters of your loved one or have a slide show projected onto a screen.

We can discuss how much you want to spend and help to advise on approximate costs, remaining transparent and sensitive throughout, we want you to feel reassured and supported throughout this difficult time.

After years of experience we know how important it is for you to have a single point of contact at the venue so we will provide you with a senior member of our events team to help you through the planning of your day.
