Once the funeral has been completed, it is a Canadian tradition for a family member to invite relatives an friends back to their home for refreshments.  Many still do this, but many can not because their apartment or home is not large enough to accommodate a sizable gathering.

Years ago, we saw the need and designed our spaciously sized Fireside Room for just this purpose.  It is large enough to accommodate up to 100 adults and children with the furniture comfortably arranged to small intimate groups, or large groups.  With the additional adjoining lounge, we are able to meet the needs for even larger gatherings.

One of the most welcome services that we provide is tea and coffee in the Fireside Room, with its comfortable surroundings.  There is ample seating for small, intimate gatherings with relatives and friends.  Many families invite their friends and relatives to join them in this informal setting.  As with visitation, it is a time to reflect, reminisce and renew acquaintances in an environment that encourages conversation and warm greetings. 

It doesn't take long for smiles to re-appear as family and friends enjoy the refreshments and engage in conversation.

The environment is home-like.  We can even arrange for fine bone china and discreet hostesses to serve.

All food is catered by a leading company and there are many selections available; from the deluxe, which includes assorted tea sandwiches, many pastries, tarts, cheese, punch, fruit, veggie and relish trays to the basic, tasty sandwiches and cookies.  The furniture placement has been designed, again, to make it easy for the disabled to comfortably move about and visit.

The Fireside Room is the ideal setting for saying thanks, and renewing old friendships.
