A LUXURY barn, which usually hosts weddings and conferences, has started offering funeral packages to allow families to experience an alternative to a church or a crematorium.
Families now have the opportunity to hire the barn or modern extension, which can accommodate up to 300 people, to hold the funeral service and wake in complete privacy.
To share their visions for funeral packages held at the barn, which overlooks to surrounding countryside, Wellington Barn will be holding an information afternoon from 2-7pm on March 22.
Funeral Director Jennifer Law from E.Wootten & Son said: "It is a nice idea that families now have an additional choice of venue in addition to traditional churches and crematoriums and we would support our families if this was their choice of venue. We wish Wellington Barn every success supporting our community."
Wellington Barn will also be working with a number of other businesses including a catering company to streamline the process and ensure that their package is appropriate for each and every family.
