Reception Facilities
Swan Point’s elegant Gray Coale Reception Hall, is located adjacent to the Historic Chapel, behind the main administration building just inside the cemetery’s entrance. It features a porticoed entrance, a full caterer’s kitchen and a lovely patio area, which may be used during pleasant weather.
This beautifully appointed, light-filled room can accommodate 125 standing and 80 seated guests and provides an ideal setting for hosting family and friends for collations, bereavement luncheons or receptions following an interment or cremation service at Swan Point. As an added convenience, the Gray Coale Reception Hall can be reserved on short notice, while obtaining a room at a restaurant often requires booking well in advance.
The original reception room, the Garden Reception Room, is also available for use after an interment or cremation services at Swan Point. Located in the main administration building, this lovely room can accommodate approximately 75 standing and 35 seated guests and can be used when additional seating is needed at the Gray Coale Reception Hall or separately when a more intimate space is desired.
Sarah’s Garden, a newly renovated courtyard accessible from the Historic Chapel and the Garden Reception Room, is available for small outdoor gatherings or in combination with use of the Garden Reception Room.
Both the Gray Coale Reception Hall and the Garden Reception Room are handicapped accessible and feature audio-visual capabilities for those wishing to include music or videos as part of their reception.
