Below is a selection of wake venues and caterers that are available in South East Essex. Clearly there are many more choices available, but these are popular venues that we have heard good reports about and that we have visited and checked out personally. We have tried to include a range of pricing and capacities while listing venues that offer a professional service and a pleasant environment. We have included contact details as wake venues are typically arranged directly by the family and not by the funeral director.

 

We do not receive a commission or finders fee from any of the venues that we recommend. All recommendations are based on reputation and personal experience.

We want to say a huge thank you for helping us through this difficult time. The day was so well organised and was a perfect tribute to our wonderful dad, Michael Bish.

Dear Nathan, Jeremy and everyone and Penrose,

Thank you so much for looking after my son – Thomas Street – while he was in your care. The past few weeks have been so distressing but you made organising the funeral so much easier than I thought it would be.

I am especially grateful for the visits that you organised for me, especially the final one. I am also very grateful to Jeremy for your kind words on the day of the service.

I am so pleased that we chose to bring Tom to you. You have made my darkest times a little brighter.

From

Claire – and all of Tom’s family - March 2020

Dear Brendon,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the kindness you have shown over the past few weeks.

Margaret, Lauren and Jessica Hudson - July 2021

Thank you so much for the wonderful funeral you did for my husband. I couldn’t of asked for anything more. Special mention to Nathan for putting up with us changing this (he has the patience of a saint). Everything was perfect from beginning to end.

Thank you once again,

 

Mrs Lawrence & family - Sept 2024

The yellow ties at mum’s funeral was a very special touch, she would have loved that,

Take care,
