At Philos, we understand that organising a funeral or celebration of life can be an overwhelming experience — especially while navigating the emotions that come with loss. Our funeral catering service is designed to provide gentle support and nourishing, beautifully presented food at a time when it matters most.
Whether you are planning a quiet gathering at home, a wake at a local venue, or a larger reception, we are here to help take one thing off your plate. With compassion, care, and attention to detail, we offer fresh, handmade food that allows you and your guests to focus on what’s truly important — being together.
We know that no two families or farewells are the same, which is why we offer flexible options to suit your needs. From traditional sandwich platters to comforting afternoon teas, we’ll work with you to create a spread that feels right for the occasion.
Our most requested options include:
Traditional Funeral Buffet – A familiar and comforting option, including freshly made sandwiches with a variety of fillings, savoury bites like quiches and sausage rolls, crisps, and sweet treats such as traybakes or scones. Everything is prepared with care and presented simply and beautifully.
Afternoon Tea Style Catering – A gentler, more refined option. Includes delicate finger sandwiches, homemade scones with jam and clotted cream, and a selection of mini cakes and pastries. This can be served with tea and coffee or delivered as a ready-to-serve table.
Light Grazing Boards – For those looking for something a little different, our lighter grazing platters include cheese, crackers, fruits, and dips — perfect for informal gatherings or smaller groups.
All our food is made fresh on the day and delivered directly to your venue or home with as little fuss as possible. We can also provide tableware, napkins, and staff support if needed, and we’re happy to liaise directly with venues or funeral directors on your behalf to reduce your stress during this time.
