Organising a Wake in Surrey?
Is this the right option for you & your family?
A wake is typically a more sombre affair than a celebration of life, but it certainly doesn’t have to be!
Here at Gorse Hill we can help you bring everything together for your memorial. We absolutely understand that the passing of a loved one can be an extremely trying time and that arranging a funeral reception or wake can be a daunting experience.
This is why our friendly team are on hand (for you) to arrange a suitable space, catering and any other special touches you may wish to add to personalise the wake or celebration of life.
