We understand that many families choose to hold a wake in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. However when family, friends and neighbours come to pay their respects, space can sometimes become limited.

To help make things a little more comfortable, we provide a professional fully enclosed canopy for home wakes.

The canopy can provide additional sheltered space for guests, tea and coffee, refreshments, or simply somewhere to step away from the crowds and take a quiet moment.

Our aim is to make the experience a little more comfortable and manageable for families, while maintaining the warmth and dignity of a traditional home wake that we are so familiar with in the parish.
