Planning a shraddha function

1

Confirm the exact date with your pandit — shraddha follows the tithi, not the calendar date of passing.

2

Tell the caterer the rules upfront — no onion, garlic, egg or meat is standard; some families have additional restrictions.

3

Book a home-delivery caterer rather than a venue package — most shraddha bhoj happens at the family home.

4

Plan for 30–80 guests typically — small enough that many restaurant caterers accept the order.

5

Arrange brahmin bhoj portions separately if pandits will eat first.

6

Ask for disposable serving ware — families should not be washing dishes on the day.

Frequently asked questions

Can caterers cook without onion and garlic?

Yes — most Nepali caterers regularly prepare sattvic food for shraddha and religious functions. State it clearly when booking and confirm the kitchen keeps the preparation separate.

How much does shraddha catering cost?

Sattvic vegetarian menus are usually the most affordable — typically $15–$25 per person for a full bhoj, with drop-off delivery to the family home.

How much notice do caterers need?

Families often book with only a few days notice after a passing — most caterers can accommodate 3–5 days for a simple vegetarian bhoj, and some can do next-day.

Do caterers deliver to homes?

Yes — drop-off in foil trays is the standard format for shraddha catering in Australia. Some caterers can also supply serving ware and a helper if needed.
