Make Hosting A Reception Easy With A Funeral Home
When you say a final goodbye to a loved one at a funeral home in Orlando, FL, you are going through a difficult time. The final services are hard enough, but then you may have to go through a reception afterward. That part doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, you can do certain things to make it as simple as possible. Here are a few ideas to help.
Let The Funeral Home Plan The Funeral Details
The final services have to come together and that takes priority. However, the funeral home has professionals that can take care of everything for you. Allow the funeral home to put things together based on your specifications and then let go of the plans. They know just what to do and you don’t’ have to worry about a thing. That frees you up to plan the reception and pull it off with as much ease as possible.
Have The Event Catered Or Hosted
You know everyone will want to speak with you at the reception since you are the one who lost someone close to you. But that doesn’t mean you have to do all of the work for the reception, too. Have the event catered and enjoy fresh foods and drinks alongside your family members and friends. You don’t have to worry about anything other than making the call. If you don’t have the money to cater the event, ask someone else to host it. Many church groups offer food for family members going through the loss of a loved one. Your friends would also probably be more than happy to put something together if you only ask.
Utilize Gifts
Many people will want to do something to help you through this tough time. Often, people will either bring flowers or food. While you are overloaded with food you couldn’t eat in a year, you can use that food for the reception. Those who donated the food will be glad to know it went to good use and you’ll have more room in your freezer for things that will likely come your way in the next few days.
Having a reception after a funeral in an Orlando, FL funeral home is a good way to gather with family members and friends and remember your loved one. This time is often more light-hearted and a good time to share memories that not everyone may have heard before. Honor your loved one by going on with your life and enjoying the company of others who loved them as well.
