Questions to resolve before booking

The collection window. Decide it before the event, not after, and confirm the collection timing and any related terms with the venue and supplier in advance.

What's the first planning decision for a funeral and memorial furniture plan?

The guest flow and running order for the day — furniture quantities follow from that sequence, not the other way round.
