Celebration of Life
When a loved one passes away, it can be the most unbearable time. Consequently, thinking about the necessary arrangements can be difficult.
The Athenaeum is one of the most iconic buildings in the centre of Bury St Edmunds, with several rooms available that are ideal for such a poignant occasion.
Whenever your gathering is large or small, we are able to provide a range of choices from either hot and cold buffet selections, formal dining, open bar or just simple refreshments. We can take care of everything for you, to make a difficult time as stress free as possible.
