Charleston Funderal Catering FAQs

1Do people cater funerals?

Yes, it’s typical to hire catering for a memorial reception or service after a funeral. Sometimes friends and family will pitch in to provide home-cooked foods for a memorial service, too. However, it’s becoming increasingly common to cater these events, as families are spread across different cities and may have other duties to handle. Catering a memorial event is also a nice way for people to focus on supporting the impacted family in other ways.

2What food do you serve at a funeral?

The menu for memorial events can be as casual or formal as you like. You may be interested in serving traditional family dishes or opt for easy-to-eat finger sandwiches. There’s no one right way to plan a menu for a funeral reception.

3How much food should I order for a memorial service?

The amount of food you should order for a memorial service varies greatly according to the number of attendees and the intent of the event. Be sure to talk to our professional team to get an expert estimate on how much food is appropriate.
