Funeral wakes

Following a £450,000 redevelopment, Fordhouses Cricket and Social Club boasts one of the best function rooms and conference spaces in Wolverhampton – perfect for funeral wakes.

The cricket club is ideally situated just off the M54, and approximately 10 minutes from Wolverhampton City Centre. It is in close proximity to the residential areas of Pendeford, Fordhouses, Oxley, Bilbrook and Codsall.

Fordhouses Cricket Club is available for hire throughout the week and offers guests the convenience of over 100 on-site car parking spaces.

Wakes

We understand that a funeral wake is a very difficult time.  Our experienced staff will ensure that every detail of your wake is organised perfectly, allowing you time to celebrate the life of your loved one with family and friends.

Room hire costs from £25. Dependant on the size of your group, we can offer you the option of two function rooms.  Our lounge has a capacity of 40 and the main function room has a capacity of 150.  Both rooms have fully stocked bars and an array of catering options, starting from £6 per head.

We recommend family/friends of the bereaved should make enquiries for wake hosting whilst at the undertakers.

To enquire about funeral wakes, please contact our General Manager on 01902 397038 / 07758893169 or by completing the enquiry form.

Went to watch my grandson play football. Good pitch considering all the rain we have had. Social club staff very polite and friendly. No animosity because we were from the opposing side.

Held my dad's wake here, which was especially appropriate as he played club cricket around Wolverhampton for 30 years.The arrangements were made with Colin & Rob, both of whom were extremely helpful.There is a good size car park which has easy access to the large function room, which was important to us as we had several people with mobility issues.The food was good and there was plenty of it, together with tea and coffee and the bar was open for those that wanted to toast my dad.Overall excellent.

Nice clean club house. Sizeable function rooms. Very reasonably priced bar. A good sized car park at the front with another good sized over flow to the rear. I was here for a birthday party which was ideal for this venue. Only one complaint was that the room was a little warm.

Just wanted to say thank you to Rob and everyone who helped us organise our mom's wake at the cricket club at the end of Nov. We could not have asked for anymore. The buffet that was provided was excellent and to the room itself. we where even able to take our homemade cakes in. Thank you all. Would definitely recommend the cricket club.

Just held our mother's wake there in a lovely room that holds around 40 people which is perfect for smaller gatherings. It meant the atmosphere was wonderful. The buffet supplied was excellent and we were even given "doggy bags" to take home the rest rather than go to waste. Plus it is just a short drive from Bushbury Crematorium which makes it ideal for a wake. Cannot fault them. Thank you.
