Questions

Funeral reception FAQs.

All questions
How much notice do you need for a funeral reception?
We understand receptions don’t come with weeks of warning. Smaller orders can often be placed with as little as 24 hours’ notice, though it isn’t guaranteed. Call our office as soon as the date is set and we’ll do everything we can — the office answers Monday through Friday, 6:00am to 5:00pm.
Where can you deliver a reception?
We serve homes, churches, funeral homes and event spaces within about an hour of our kitchen near I-85 and I-285, across Metro Atlanta. We can provide tables, chairs and linens if the space needs them.
Can your staff serve and clean up?
Yes. Our buffet dropoff and setup has food arranged and ready before guests arrive. For larger gatherings, our staffed events include servers, china, glassware, linen napkins, and full setup and cleanup, so the family doesn’t have to manage anything.
What food should we choose?
Our pre-built packages arrive as a complete meal, which makes decisions simple. If the family has a favorite dish or special requests, we can substitute items or build a custom menu. Most packages are priced per person for the exact number of guests.
Is there a minimum order for a reception?
Our minimum order is at least $300 in food sales before delivery fee and taxes. That usually means 15–20 people, and we routinely handle gatherings both smaller-feeling and larger — up to 500+ guests.
