Wakes, a celebration of life

We know the importance of celebration and of saying goodbye to a loved one. On the death of a friend or family member, let us take the strain of a formal event out of your hands. We’ll give a steady hand with all arrangements,  calm organisation and a friendly backdrop for a wake or alternative celebration of a life. Manager Noga Shelah will personally help you to organise a celebration to remember your loved one in our beautiful surroundings with as much or as little ceremony as you wish.
