Funeral and Wake Equipment Hire
Funeral receptions and wakes can be held at home, in a village or community hall, at a pub or hotel, or at any other venue the family chooses. Whatever the setting, having the right tables, chairs, and tableware means guests are comfortable and the event runs smoothly during a difficult day.
For a standing wake with a buffet, trestle tables for the food and drink and a mix of chairs for guests who need to sit are usually enough. For a seated reception, rectangular or round banqueting tables with chairs at each place give the event more structure. We hire folding chairs, Cross Back chairs, and Chiavari chairs depending on the formality of the occasion.
We hire full place settings for seated receptions, and cups, saucers, side plates, and serving platters for buffet-style events. Glassware for soft drinks, wine, and tea and coffee service is available alongside. We deliver clean and collect after the event so there is nothing for the family to deal with afterwards.
For self-catered or home wakes, we hire hot water urns for tea and coffee, serving platters, chafing dishes to keep food warm, and serving utensils. Trestle tables for the buffet and a tablecloth to cover them are straightforward additions.
Tablecloths in white, ivory, black, or navy are available. We launder everything before delivery and collect it after the event.
We understand that organising equipment for a wake often happens at short notice. Contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline.
