Celebration of Life 2024


Losing someone you love is one of life’s cruellest chapters. During this difficult and emotionally challenging time, we know the task of planning funeral arrangements and a celebration of life ceremony can be daunting.
Our team is here to help take that overwhelm off your shoulders. A celebration of life ceremony at The Alverton will always be handled with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and empathy. We’re experienced in creating a dignified occasion, working closely with you to ensure every small detail has been included.
Tucked away behind ancient trees, and peaceful private gardens, The Alverton is a hidden oasis perched just on the outskirts of Truro. A safe and relaxing space for you and your guests to grieve, share anecdotes, or raise a glass in loving memory.
Every person has their own unique story, and we believe a celebration of life ceremony should reflect just that. There’ll be no ‘one size fits all’ approach to your important occasion, and how you choose to mourn your loss. That’s why we have a range of venue spaces in all shapes and sizes, with a variety of catering options, and added touches, to make the day as personal as possible.
If you would like to visit the hotel for a tour to discuss your requirements, or make a booking, please contact us on 01872 276 633 or email weddingandevents@thealverton.co.uk
Whether you’re organising an intimate gathering for your nearest and dearest, or expecting a larger group to the celebration of life ceremony, we have a selection of venue spaces and rates to suit your size and budget. Discover our venue hire rates, and added extra prices below.
Our chefs have the catering under control, so you can pay all your attention to being present on the day. Choose from hot or cold buffet options, or opt for an afternoon tea for your guests to graze on. If you have something else in mind, feel free to speak to our team, who would be more than happy to accommodate any dietary requirements where possible.
