How After works

After is here to offer support, advice, ideas and suggestions for anyone planning a wake, memorial or living funeral. We know things can become overwhelming and we are here for guidance and assistance. 

After treats everyone with kindness and respect and takes the time to truly learn about the person at the centre of the event.

After acts as event coordinator and the link between family, friends and venues and providers. Knowing the details are being taken care of, according to everyone's wishes, brings comfort and peace of mind.

We ensure everything is communicated sensitively, clearly and in a timely manner.

There is no set structure to follow and nothing is off-limits. An event could take many forms: dinner with close friends and family, a gathering at a favourite pub, a silent disco, a barbecue on the beach, a ceilidh, or a weekend walking in the countryside.

Whatever feels right, we'll help you make it happen.
