​A Helping Hand When You Need It Most

We understand that arranging a funeral or funeral wake, memorial gathering or celebration of life can be an incredibly difficult and emotional time. There are so many things to organise, often while you are dealing with the loss of someone very special.

 

At Little Vintage Teacup we’re here to offer a helping hand, taking care of some of those arrangements to make the day a little easier and as stress-free as possible.

​

Whether you are planning a traditional funeral wake, a memorial gathering or a celebration of life to remember and honour a loved one, we can provide thoughtful, practical support with vintage china hire, tea and coffee service, table setting, set-up and clear-down.

​

Our aim is to take some of the pressure off, allowing you and your family to spend time together, share memories and remember someone special.​​​​

Tea & Coffee Service

A cup of tea or coffee can provide a comforting moment to bring people together after a funeral or memorial service.

​

We can supply the vintage china and equipment needed for your refreshment station, alongside our tea and coffee service, creating a welcoming space where guests can sit together, talk and share memories.

 

Whether you are expecting a small group of family and friends or a larger gathering, we can discuss your requirements and help you find a suitable arrangement.

​

Set-Up & Clear-Down Service

When there are already so many arrangements to think about, having someone else take care of the practical details can make a real difference.

​

We know that when you are organinsing a funeral wake or celebration of life, the last thing you need is the additional pressure from setting up tables, unpacking china and arranging refreshements.

• Unloading and unpacking hired items

• Setting out vintage china, cups and saucers.

​

We will discuss the arrangements with you in advance so that you know what is included and can feel reassured that these details are being taken care of.

​

Our aim is to make the day as straightforward and stress-free as possible, giving you more time with those who matter most.

 

Catering for Funeral Wakes & Celebrations of Life

If you require catering for your gathering, we can also discuss catering options alongside your vintage china hire and/or Tea & Coffee Service bookings.

 

Whether you are arranging a funeral reception, a memorial gathering or a celebration of life, we can talk through your requirements and explore suitable options for your event.

 

Catering is subject to availability and will be discussed as part of your enquiry.

​

​​​​​A Personal & Thoughtful Service
