Memorial meal

Arranging a memorial meal — at home or in a venue — with respect for family customs and without unnecessary pressure.

A calm memorial meal — a table with flowers

A memorial meal is a chance to gather, remember someone dear, and support one another. In Orthodox tradition, remembrance is often held on the 3rd, 9th, and 40th day, and also at six months and the anniversary; the day of death is usually counted as the first.

The meal is not a mandatory requirement — we arrange it when the family wishes it and is ready.

The place can be at home or in a café or hall near home or the cemetery. We help agree the number of guests, the menu — including Lenten dishes when needed — and the time so relatives can gather comfortably.

What we take on

From choosing a venue — to an agreed menu and a calm course of the meal.

  • Choosing a place: at home, in a café, or a hall
  • Agreeing the date, time, and approximate number of guests
  • A menu considering traditions and fasting — when needed
  • Arranging the meal after burial and on memorial days
  • Coordination with the venue and delivery — by agreement
  • Help with details so the family can focus on remembrance

When and for whom

We clarify whether a meal is needed after burial, on the 9th or 40th day, at six months or the anniversary. Guest numbers and format — from a close circle to a wider gathering — are agreed with you, without imposing “how it must be”.

Venue

We help choose a convenient option near home or the cemetery — or arrange a table at home. What matters is that relatives can arrive calmly and gather together.

Menu and details

We agree the menu for the number of guests, family traditions, and Lenten days if they fall on the memorial date. We confirm the time and contact with the venue — so the day of the meal does not require last-minute decisions.

On the day of the gathering

By agreement we coordinate welcoming guests and the course of the meal. You can be with relatives — we take on the organizational details in the agreed scope.
