Funerals are never joyous occasions and organising them
can be difficult for those grief-stricken loved ones left with
a list of things to organise.

Many funeral directors provide inclusive packages in which
they take care of all funeral issues.

For most these packages are a great help, others however
prefer to take care of matters on their own.
Either way Executive Coach and Catering Services offer an
exemplary funeral catering service which can be tailored to
suit the needs of an individual or supplied as a package to
compliment that provided by the funeral director.

The company has years of experience and their professional attitude towards funeral catering has transformed the company into one of the region’s biggest funeral catering firms.
In partnership with Stuart Wright Funeral Services the company has built a series of strong relationships with individual funeral venues, providing catering for Stuart Wright’s funerals, some of which have been in the Washington and Sunderland area.
