Celebration Of Life

Peaceful. Respectful. A beautiful setting to remember, reflect, and celebrate.

Eslington Villa offers a calm and elegant space for funeral gatherings, wakes, and celebration of life services — with care and consideration every step of the way.

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult moments. At Eslington, we understand how important it is to honour their memory with a personal, respectful gathering — whether that’s a quiet wake, a formal funeral tea, or a heartfelt celebration of life shared with close friends and family.

Surrounded by tranquil gardens and set within a charming country house, our venue provides a peaceful and private setting where guests can come together in comfort. Whether you’re planning a simple reception or a more detailed memorial event, our experienced team will support you with compassion and professionalism throughout.

We offer a range of flexible options to suit your needs, including funeral teas, light buffets, afternoon refreshments, and fully seated meals — all prepared to our signature high standards. Our chefs are happy to accommodate special dietary requirements, and we’ll work with you to create a menu that feels right for the occasion.

Our Celebration of Life packages are designed to remove the stress from planning at a time when emotions run high. You’ll have a dedicated co-ordinator to guide you through the process, making sure every detail is handled with sensitivity — from timings and layouts to music and speeches.

If you require a quiet space for personal reflection or religious observance, private rooms can be arranged on request.

Overnight accommodation is also available for travelling family members.
