What would you like to drink?
A funeral is both a farewell and a toast to the life of the deceased. When organising a dignified farewell, every detail is important. This also applies to the drinks that are served after the service.
You can make any choice you want, from the obvious classics to more creative alternatives! Anything from coffee and tea to a festive high tea, and even cocktails, champagne, beer, and personal favourites are possibilities.
Let's toast to life together and keep the memory alive.
Classics with a warm welcome
Coffee and tea are the typical classics. Coffee provides comfort and warmth, while tea has a calming and soothing effect.
Attention to detail, such as personal mugs, matching spoons, and speciality tea assortments, is important.
A Feast of Taste: High Tea after the Service
For a more elegant atmosphere, a high tea is a fitting choice.
The bereaved will be pleasantly surprised by delicious savory and sweet treats and a selection of teas. A high tea is a unique opportunity to share memories and find support in each other.
A Toast to Life: Alternative Drinks
In addition to the classics and high tea, a funeral also offers space to serve personal preferences and favourite drinks.
Think about your own tastes and lifestyle when choosing drinks for the funeral. Give it your personal touch!
Cocktails
Enjoy cocktails together to celebrate life and share memories.
There are many options, from classic cocktails like the elegant Martini and the refreshing Mojito to unique creations like the Passionate Remembrance, a blend of passion fruit and rum that reflects the passion and energy of the deceased.
Another option is the Tropical Sunset, a colourful combination of orange juice, grenadine, and rum, which brings warmth and joy to an emotional time.
"Most importantly, the drinks reflect the personality of the deceased and create an atmosphere of reminiscence."
Champagne
Let attendees raise a sparkling toast to life with a glass of champagne. The bubbles symbolise joy and festivity while honouring the memory of the deceased in a refined way.
Opt for a traditional brut champagne for a dry and refreshing experience, or go for a sweeter variety such as demi-sec or rosé champagne.
Beer
For beer lovers, a funeral offers the opportunity to enjoy brews that match your personality.
Think artisanal IPAs with their intense hop aromas and bitterness, or lighter pilsners that have a smooth and refreshing taste. Each beer has its own character and story, making it a perfect choice for sharing memories and toasting life.
Other Alternatives
In addition to cocktails, champagne and beer, you can of course also choose other favourite drinks that have a personal meaning.
That specific type of wine that you always enjoy, such as a Merlot or Chardonnay. For spirits lovers, a bottle of single malt whisky or a craft-distilled gin can be served.
Most importantly, these drinks reflect your personality and create a feeling of remembrance.
Planning Ahead and Personal Choices
Determine your wishes regarding drinks at the funeral in advance.
With your favourite drink, you can add a personal touch to the farewell gathering. Consider the preferences and needs of others as well. Whether you're opting for the classics, such as coffee and tea, hosting a celebratory high tea, or serving your personal favourite beverage, adding appropriate drinks can enhance the memory of a loved one.
