Things have changed quite a bit in the world in the last year, but funeral homes in North Miami Beach, FL have adapted quickly to those changes because people still need services from them. One of the things that you might do differently when you have to have final services for a loved one is the reception you have for the family after the funeral is over. Here are some of the things to consider in light of today’s changing times.
Individually Packaged Foods
If you want your family to remain as safe as possible, and you don’t want anyone to spread things by touching food that someone else might then eat, you could consider individually packages foods. You can certainly have wrapped sandwiches, bags of chips, pops in cans, cookies in wrappers, and other things that are easy for people to grab and unwrap themselves. You know that it’s as sanitary as possible.
Services In A Buffet
Buffets usually operate as a self-serve type of thing. People wander through the line as they are ready, take what they want, and leave other things alone. But that means a lot of different people touching the serving spoons and so on. Instead of that danger, you might have servers who are the only ones who touch the serving spoons instead of a variety of people touching them. They wear gloves and stand back and keep the process as safe as possible.
Full Service At Tables
You might also avoid having a buffet at all and have servers give everyone a plate of food right at their tables. That avoids people having to be up, moving through a line, getting too close to food that other people might eat.
Order Your Own At Restaurants
You might want to book an outdoor area at a restaurant and then, everyone can order whatever they want from the menu and have it be made fresh for them and brought to the table. Being outside can help you feel okay about having a group of people and when everyone orders what they want, no one has to be around anyone else’s food at all.
There are lots of things to think about when it comes to receptions today. Some people have small receptions with just close family so they don’t have numbers what are too high. Others think about safety by pre-packaging foods and some families have things outside.
