My father has recently died and we are having his funeral at Grantham Crematorium.

I live at the other end of the country and I'm trying to help my mum arrange things. Can anyone recommend a nearby venue to have people back to after the funeral. We think we will need to cater for about 40.

Thank you so much.

Hi - I am really sorry to hear about this, can be very hard to organise things at a distance.
When a relative died in Birmingham a couple of years ago, my cousin and I were in the same position of trying to find somewhere to meet afterwards. The undertaker was able to suggest a few places and we settled for a local cricket club (appropriate as the relative was a keen cricket follower) who could do refreshments in the lounge bar area which we had for our sole use. It is possible that the undertakers may have some ideas.

Thank you for your kind words and advice. x
