WELCA Funeral Dinner Policy
September 4, 2018
Due to a lack of help, WELCA will no longer prepare funeral dinners for families of the
deceased.
However, WELCA will set up, serve and clean up for dinners that are catered by an
outside service.
WELCA will prepare coffee, tea, cold drinks, and provide paper products.
Families are responsible for the cost of the catered dinner.
WELCA would appreciate a donation to help defray their cost for the drinks and paper
products.
A representative from WELCA will contact a family member to discuss details of the
dinner, if applicable and explain which catering services are preferred by WELCA and
catering menu options.
Respectfully submitted,
Patty Newton, WELCA President
Nancy Vogel, WELCA Secretary
