A celebration of Life
At The Royal & Fortescue Hotel, we offer our heartfelt condolences for your loss and stand ready to welcome your family as you gather to honour your loved one. Choose from our selection of function rooms, accommodating intimate gatherings of up to 30 or larger gatherings of up to 125 people, ensuring a suitable space for your event.
We understand the challenges involved in organising a wake or funeral tea for a loved one. Allow our team to relieve the burden by guiding you through all the arrangements, ensuring that you and your loved ones can celebrate their life with a customised occasion tailored specifically to your needs and preferences.
With years of experience working alongside local funeral directors, we are adept at assisting with the organisation of wakes. Should you wish, we are more than willing to liaise directly with your chosen director to ensure that every aspect of your event is handled with sensitivity and professionalism.
