Saying goodbye is never easy. Planning the wake after a funeral can feel like one more task. At The Bulkeley Hotel, we want to make that part simple. Our Celebrations of Life package makes The Bulkeley a calm, private wake venue, with good food included. That leaves you free to focus on the people around you.
A Fixed Price for 40 Guests
Our package costs £900 for 40 guests. It includes a private room hire and a classic buffet. That works out at £22.50 per person.
What's Included
- A private function room. Your family can gather away from other hotel guests.
- A classic buffet for 40 guests. A simple, comforting funeral buffet that is easy to share.
- Help from our events team. We guide you from your first call to the end of the day.
Our buffet menus are made for mingling, which is just what you want from funeral catering. Classic finger buffets include freshly cut sandwiches, sausage rolls, and scones with jam and cream. There's even a proper slice of Bara Brith, the Welsh fruit loaf many of us grew up with.
A Meaningful Setting for a Funeral Wake
The Bulkeley has stood in the heart of Beaumaris since 1832. It is a Grade I listed Georgian building and one of the island's best-loved landmarks.
Many local families have marked big moments here. Christenings, birthdays, weddings and farewells. For some, it feels right to return for one last gathering.
From the hotel, you look out across the Menai Strait towards Snowdonia. It's a peaceful view. It gives people space to pause, talk and share stories.
Every farewell is different. Some families want a quiet hour of tea and memories. Others want music, photos and a toast. We work around you. We handle timings, set-up and service with care and discretion.
Close to Churches, Easy to Reach
Beaumaris is a small town that is easy to walk around. The hotel is on Castle Street, just minutes from the town's historic churches. Guests can move easily from the service to the funeral reception.
Parking is close by. The Green car park is directly opposite the hotel. The Castle car park is about five minutes away on foot. Blue Badge holders park free in council car parks, including the Castle car park. Coaches can park there too. Read our parking guide for prices and details.

Why Choose a Hotel in Anglesey for a Celebration of Life?
A hotel takes the pressure off. You don't need to cook, clean or wash up. You don't need to find chairs, plates or extra space.
The room, the food, the drinks and a bed for the night are all under one roof. That's why many families choose one of the Anglesey hotels as their celebration of life venue, rather than hosting at home.
A gathering matters, whatever type of funeral you choose. People need a chance to say goodbye together.
Stay a Little Longer
After the gathering, guests are welcome to stay on. The Bulkeley has five places to eat and drink. Our Coffee Lounge has views across the Menai Strait. The Bistro is our relaxed family bar and grill. Both are good spots for a quiet cup of tea or a meal together.
Among hotels on Anglesey, we're proud to offer a warm welcome at the hardest of times.
