Hire an elegant function room at Lauderdale House for a funeral service, reception, wake or memorial. Our serene park setting, peaceful atmosphere and experienced in-house catering partners will help you create the perfect event to contemplate and celebrate the life of your loved one alongside family and friends.
We have three unique rooms, all overlooking the park, which can be hired individually or together for a memorial gathering, funeral service (with or without a casket), reception or wake.
The Lower Gallery / Entrance is our most popular space for a wake. Adorned with paintings by local artists and boasting a Steinway grand piano, the Lower Gallery works well for standing receptions and seated services and has direct access to the side terrace.
The Long Gallery is our private and dignified first floor room overlooking the knot garden. Equipped with an Erard grand piano, the Long Gallery is the perfect space for a formal service, with or without the casket.
The Conservatory is our modern space at the back of the House with views on to the Tea Lawn, ideal for intimate and relaxed gatherings. The Conservatory can also open up to the Courtyard, which allows for a standing reception of up to 200 guests when combined with the Lower Gallery / Entrance Hall.
