After funeral reception at Stringer Catering Lounge
The after funeral reception is often as meaningful as the service itself. It is a time to gather with family and friends, share stories, and remember the person who has died in greater detail. Sometimes, it even becomes a long-overdue family reunion.
Adjacent to Whitestone Chapel and opening out to the sheltered gardens, the Stringer Catering Lounge provides a comfortable, purpose-built space for this important part of the day. Whether you prefer a light morning tea, a hearty afternoon spread, or something in between, the setting is designed to help everyone feel welcome and at ease.
The Lounge features a fully equipped modern kitchen, ensuring food and drinks are served at their best. Our dedicated hostess takes care of every detail, so you can focus on your guests instead of the logistics. From setting up the space to clearing away afterwards, everything runs smoothly.
