Venues for Refreshments & Wakes Following Swindon Funeral Services
Updated
Following your loved one’s funeral, the wake is a chance for family and friends to support one another and share fond memories. Being around loved ones at such a difficult time can bring comfort and solace.
It’s always advisable to look for a venue which is easy to travel to after the funeral. This might be a pub, community centre or club which was dear to your loved one, or a convenient location to enable those who wish to remember them to come together to remember and celebrate their life. Depending on your budget you may prefer to leave the catering to the venue, or (if the venue permits) organise this yourself.
If you are unsure where to start when choosing a reception venue for your loved one’s funeral in Swindon, we advise speaking to your funeral director. At Pearce Funeral Services we are happy to offer you advice both on where to hold the service as well as the funeral wake.
Venue Listings
We have started compiling a venue directory for the Swindon area which is broken down by community. This will continue to be expanded as more venues submit additional details but we trust this serves as a helpful starting point for those wishing to discuss options with their funeral director, or who are evaluating alternatives themselves.
The venues with more detailed descriptions have already confirmed that they host funeral receptions. If you are unsure whether a local venue currently offers to host wakes we will be happy to advise or contact them on your behalf.
Each community page also features a map which may be helpful to those less familiar with the area.
