Funeral Meals
Families are welcome to hold a funeral luncheon in the church basement. It will be the family responsibility to make arrangements for the meal either through the funeral home or hosted by family or friends.
The CCW will provide coffee, lemonade, and water. It has become difficult to find help to serve a luncheon, so if you can, please have caterers serve the meal if possible.
The caterers who were contacted were P.J.’s in Heron Lake (Ricardo Salinas). They will provide a meal and include all utensils and they prefer to serve the meal.
Silverbacks in Lakefield also will drop off meals or serve the meal. They provide all utensils. The family has to ask them about serving or they will only drop off.
HyVee in Worthington will only provide drop-off. Some of their meals will provide utensils, some do not. They will have to be asked.
There are other caterers in the area. These are the only ones contacted. Families just have to find out what other caterers offer as far as serving and utensils.
