Funeral & Memorial Services

Firstly, Management and staff at the Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport Hotel would like to offer you our sincerest condolences for your loss. We know this is a difficult time, and want to help make the post funeral reception personal to your loved one. This is an opportunity for people to celebrate the life of those you have lost. 

Post Funeral Reception

Providing a space for family and friends to gather

Providing a space for people to come together and share happy memories is the most important aspect of a post funeral reception. You want to be in a place that offers a fitting tribute to your loved one, but also a venue that works in the background while you grieve.

A casual setting like the Crowne Plaza Dublin Blanchardstown is the right place for your memorial service.

venue for the post funeral reception

The Crowne Plaza Dublin Blanchardstown is suitably located near a number of cemeteries in Dublin, including Mulhuddart, Palmerstown, and Esker Cemeteries. We are also located just off the M50, with parking available in our adjacent multi-story carpark. The Crowne Plaza is a common location for post funeral receptions after burial in these cemeteries.

When you’re choosing a venue for a post funeral reception, it’s important to think of the cultural factors of your ceremony. Choose a place that has no dress code, allows the background music you want and has a relaxed setting.

Working with an Experienced Team

We understand that when you lose a loved one there are many aspects to try arrange and manage and this can be a very busy and overwhelming time. Our dedicated team would like to assure you all your needs will be met in a timely and considerate approach, and we will make the arrangements as easy as possible so you can focus on other matters. You can speak with our experienced staff to make decisions on the reception at the discretion of the family. 

What is a Repast or Post Funeral Reception

A repast is a celebration after the funeral ceremony in the Church hall. In modern times, it consists of going to a venue for a light meal and trading stories with a gathering of people.

Celebration of life is the best way to explain a repast. What can sometimes be seen as a challenging time for many, In Ireland a memorial service is usually a celebration of the life a loved one lived.

Incorporating elements such as memory tables or photo walls

A memorial ceremony often includes a small number of offerings to help you through the mourning process. Candle vigils, memory books, photo walls or memorial trees are some of the special types of momentos we see at the Crowne Plaza post funeral receptions.

Our compassionate staff can help you to set up an area for your guests to share their memories. 

Planning food options for post funeral receptions

A variety of dining options are available from soup and sandwiches with tea and coffee, buffet style meal and finger foods for larger gatherings to a sit-down meal. We also have a selection of dining areas, including semi-private or private dining served by professional staff.

Catering to different dietary preferences and restrictions

Not all of our food options may be allergen free, and at a time like this it may be difficult for you to remember all allergens and dietary options of your guest list. On the day, simply speak with one of our attentive staff members and we will make arrangements for you.  

Testimonials

A few examples of previous clients and what they had to say about our staff & facilities.

  • The room was wonderful food excellent and everything ran smoothly

    Just wanted to thank you for everything on Saturday night. Everything went brilliantly, the room was wonderful food excellent, and everything ran smoothly. I would like to add that Karen and Ellen went above and beyond to cater for us on the night as well as the floor and bar staff. We'll have no hesitation in booking again for next year which I will be in touch with you in the next few days about. Many thanks from myself and the Harristown GPA committee”

  • our second year hosting the awards

    Thank you so much for all your assistance and attention to detail for the awards this year. Kim, Shauna and their teams did a fantastic job from start to finish. This is our second year hosting the awards here and we have gotten such positive feedback from our guests. We already look forward to working with the team again for next year.

  • our guests had a great night. On Friday, everything went like clockwork too!

    Just a quick note to say thank you very much to you, Danny and the rest of the CP Blanchardstown team who did us so proud last week. We made life hard for Sibi on Thursday night with an ever-changing table plan, but he and his colleagues managed admirably, and our guests had a great night. On Friday, everything went like clockwork too! Thanks again

  • Everyone was very impressed by the entire Crowne Plaza Hotel team and venue

    While I have you, I’d like to thank you for all your help and support over the last few months in getting the Conference up and running – the feedback has been very positive from all attendees and PCI staff. Everyone was very impressed by the entire Crowne Plaza Hotel team and venue. Also please pass on my thanks to Shauna and let her know how helpful she was on Saturday; she was very attentive to all our needs throughout the day and was a calming presence for me when things got a little bit stressful later in the day when trying to connect with our final speaker of the day over Zoom! We’re already planning our next Conference (aiming for April 2025), so we will get in touch with you about availability later in the year. Thanks again

  • everyone I spoke to was delighted and all said that the food was the best they ever had at such a large function

    The ball was fantastic, thank you so much for all the organising yourself and the team did - the ISCG menus and table decorations were a lovely surprise! In terms of feedback, I really don't have a bad word to say - everyone I spoke to was delighted and all said that the food was the best they ever had at such a large function (I completely agree on that too!). Shauna was a huge help in all the last-minute things too like getting microphones set up for speeches. Thank you so much again, yourself and the team made the event so easy to organise from start to finish and we'll be sure to pass on the good word to other societies for functions in the future. I'm sure my replacement will be back to you in a few months to book a date for next year!

  • Nothing was a problem. We felt we were in very safe hands after that very first meeting

    We held the FEWN event for LEO Fingal at the Crowne Plaza in Blanchardstown. Our experience from the get-go was top class. Kim was absolutely amazing to deal with. Nothing was a problem. We felt we were in very safe hands after that very first meeting. The room, the set-up, the extra touches at the beginning with the stunning mince pie stands & vit hit carts. The Christmas decorations. All the staff were so accommodating. Printing lots of extras at last minute. Shauna was also fantastic on the day. Her attention to detail was superb. The standard of food was first class - so huge compliments to the chef!! Lunch was absolutely delicious and the feedback from all attendees is a 5 !! Excellent!!! So, thank you. The staff everywhere were incredibly attentive at all times. I’ve already recommended the hotel & the team to colleagues. Brilliant experience from start to finish. Thank you.

  • Thank you so much for all the support

    Dear Michael and Carol I hope you are keeping well. Thank you so much for all the support that you and your team gave to Team Ireland in the lead into Paris. Kim and Daniel, in particular, were fantastic to work with!

  • Each and every request was done without complaint, without problems, and made it such a huge success

    We stayed on two nights in this hotel, exceedingly good and the staff make this such an enjoyable experience. I don’t remember all the names of the staff and managers but each and every person was professional in their duties. It was a company function, there was a lot of things happening, lots of last-minute arrangements, but each and every request was done without complaint, without problems, and made it such a huge success. Apologies that I don’t mention any names, Vanessa checked us out and the smile was a lovely added extra on a morning before heading off after a class leading breakfast!
