Rosemary Garden Event Catering for Funeral Receptions and Memorial Services

“Thank you so much for the delicious and beautifully presented food. You made our day of remembrance much easier for us.”

About Rosemary Garden

Back in 2002, Hae-Young Yoon found herself helping a friend in mourning. Her friend’s husband had passed from a heart attack, and she was so overwhelmed with all the preparations. Hae-Young offered to take care of the food catering for the funeral reception. After seeing the family enjoy the food and share memories, Hae-Young wanted to help more families.

From her desire to connect good food with good memories, Hae-Young founded Rosemary Garden. Food brings comfort, inspires joy, expresses caring, honour and respect. It also helps evoke memories which families and friends need most. It is fitting then that the traditional usage of rosemary is to improve memory. At Rosemary Garden, we want to provide a garden full of memories for the people you love.

We will be your warm, caring, helping hand when you need it the most. Our creative ideas, unique food, and artistic presentation will make everything memorable.
