At Tommy’s Catering, we’re often part of life’s happiest moments, weddings, birthdays, retirements. But sometimes, we’re called upon during the most difficult times. Funeral luncheons hold a unique kind of weight. They’re quiet, emotional gatherings that deserve just as much care and attention as any other event.
Recently, we were honored to cater back-to-back memorial services for a local family. The requests were simple like comfort food, respectful service, and a setup that would allow guests to gather peacefully after the services. Our team approached the task with compassion and attention to every detail.

Support Beyond the Meal In these moments, catering isn’t just about food. It's about removing stress from the family. We helped guide menu choices, coordinated timing with the funeral home, and even assisted in locating a luncheon venue when options were limited. It’s part of our commitment to support the entire process, not just deliver trays of food.
Providing Quiet Confidence We understand that funeral luncheons are not just about logistics. They’re about creating a space where people can connect, reflect, and remember. Our service is designed to feel seamless and supportive. From the moment we arrive to the final cleanup, everything is handled with care and professionalism.
Handling Leftovers with Care At the end of the event, there was more food than expected. Rather than letting it go to waste, we offered to help organize a donation to Meals on Wheels. That gesture resonated deeply with the family. Giving back in a moment like that isn’t just practical it’s healing.
Why Respectful Service Matters Our team understands how to be present but not intrusive. We dress professionally, arrive early to handle setup quietly, and manage cleanup with discretion. Whether the luncheon is held in a church hall, a community center, or a private residence, our focus is always on supporting the family, not spotlighting ourselves.
It’s an honor to be trusted during such personal and emotional events. We believe funeral catering should ease the day, not add to it. If you’re looking for respectful, full-service funeral catering in Vandergrift or the surrounding areas, we’re here with experience, compassion, and a deep respect for the moment.
