A few useful answers.

Make yourself at home with the details.

How quickly can you arrange a wake?

Often within a few days. Call the events desk with the date and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Do we need exact numbers?

No. A rough idea is enough to start, and you can confirm the day before.

Can we put up photographs?

Yes. We’ll set out a table and easels for photographs, flowers and an order of service.
