Celebrating a Life at The Boars Head in Derbyshire
A funeral reception is about much more than food and a room. It's an opportunity for the people who knew and loved someone to come together, share stories, look through photographs and remember the moments that made them special.
At The Boars Head, we are experienced in hosting Celebrations of Life and funeral gatherings in Derbyshire, providing a welcoming place for family and friends at a difficult time.
A Place to Come Together
After the formality of a funeral service, having somewhere comfortable to gather can be incredibly important.
Some families want a small and quiet reception with their closest relatives. Others want a larger Celebration of Life filled with conversation, photographs and memories.
Whatever feels most appropriate for your family, our team will work with you to help make the arrangements.
Taking Care of the Details
When you're arranging a funeral, there can already be a huge amount to organise.
Our aim at The Boars Head is to make the reception side of the day as straightforward as we can.
We can provide funeral buffet catering for your guests, with our chefs able to discuss changes to suit your requirements where possible.
Our team will be there to help with the practical details, leaving you to concentrate on spending time with your family and friends.
A Convenient Location for Family and Friends
The Boars Head is situated in the Derbyshire countryside at Draycott-in-the-Clay, within easy reach of Ashbourne, Uttoxeter and Sudbury.
For families with guests travelling from different areas, our location close to the Derbyshire and Staffordshire border can provide a convenient meeting point.
We also have 23 bedrooms at the hotel, giving relatives and friends the option of staying overnight rather than travelling home immediately after the funeral.
A Celebration That Feels Personal
There is no single right way to celebrate someone's life.
That's why we encourage families to speak to us about what they would like from the day. Whether you're planning a simple gathering after the funeral or a larger Celebration of Life, we'll do our best to accommodate your wishes and make the occasion feel personal to the person you're remembering.
