If the funeral is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short. Codmore Hill is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park; tell us about access if the wake is somewhere rural.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check with family about dietary needs
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
