We had a death in the family yesterday and the removal is tonight with the funeral tomorrow. I didnt think funerals happened on good friday but they do (no gospel or offertry procession). Anyway now its proving difficult to find somewhere to go after the funeral. The funeral directors are looking into it for us, they said some hotels might cater - soup and sandwiches etc.
I think hotels will only serve alcohol to residents who are staying in the hotel. Is there a relative who could have sandwiches and drinks in their house after the funeral?
Ring the managers/ owners of the local hotels directly. They might otherwise be closed but could open a function room especially for you. At least thats what they do around here.
My grand uncle was burried on GOod Friday and the local pub opened and served sandwiches and tea and coffee.
And then of course served alcohol too.
The pub was closed to any one other than people at the funeral.
