Remembering loved ones

Memorials

Getting together at what is always a very sad time does not necessarily mean an unhappy occasion. Remembering a loved one can be a time of reminiscing and laughter – a celebration of a life lived.

"I am writing personally to thank the Escot staff who were involved in the Memorial event of my late husband on August 30th. The venue proved to be very appropriate - we enjoyed the beautiful rooms and grounds, with kind, helpful and understanding staff, plus the sunshine made it a very special time for us all."

We held my Dad's celebration of life at Escot recently and I can't recommend them enough for a memorial event. Everything was executed perfectly and effortlessly which meant I didn't have to worry about anything and could relax and connect with my friends and family, which was really important. Thank you so much to Jo for the brilliant communication throughout, and to Lucy and Lindsay for delivering everything so beautifully on the day, and for being a really calm and friendly presence at our event. Everyone commented how lovely the venue and food was. I can't thank you enough for making what was an emotional day, easier to deal with. Highly recommend.

Thank you to you and your team for organising the wake for my Mother on Monday. As I live far away and did not know of Escot you gave me full confidence that all was under control and it worked very well for us as a family. It was a lovely setting with a welcoming log fire as the weather was drizzly, together with perfect food and service, just what we wanted. Many thanks again for making a difficult day easier.

We (the Hardy Clan) would like to thank you and your staff for putting on a splendid finger buffet together with all the accompanying drinks etc. Although it was for a very sad occasion, you managed to uplift our spirits in the most delightful way, for which we cannot thank you enough.

Just a note to thank you and your staff for being so accommodating after the funeral. You coped so well with the amount of people and from our point of view it was a lovely venue.

Thank you for your kindness and attention on the day.

Please thank everyone at Escot for making the day so special. Everyone commented on how well organised you all were, how delicious the buffet was and how the needs of our less mobile guests were met. You even organised good weather, so that we could enjoy the sunshine on the terrace - although my dad would have said that he put in a good word with the bloke upstairs!

The library at Escot House was the ideal place for us. We found it to be a tranquil, healing place with beautiful gardens allowing us to remember my husband, each person in his own way.

Escot House offers a light, spacious venue to lift the spirits, a lovely venue for people to meet together. Everyone is welcome to walk in the grounds and have quiet time for reflection. 

Our team is experienced and tactful, and will work with the mood of your gathering.

Memorial

You may prefer to have a quiet get-together or wake, where close friends and family gather together to swap stories and reminisce about good times. This is usually held after the funeral. Guests are more likely to mingle together standing up, but we will also provide seating for those who want to rest.

Remembrance

A more formal celebration can be held, for example to remember someone who was a dignitary, an academic or perhaps a charity fundraiser. This remembrance service can be held weeks, or even months after the funeral.

Seating may be in rows, to enable a presentation. You may even wish to put together a slide show or video. All options will be discussed with you in advance and facilities provided to make the event as stress free as possible.

In either case, we can provide discreet catering, from sandwiches and cakes to a traditional buffet, with tea and coffee on tap.

Prices

Room hire £130

Food starting from £12pp for a finger buffet which includes a selection of sandwiches, homemade cake plus tea and coffee.

Prices include VAT
