Hotel Bereavement Rates

Reserving a block of rooms for your guests is a thoughtful gesture. Not only does it make the logistics easier, but friends and family may benefit from the camaraderie and the sense that "we are all in this together."

Though bereavement rates are not standard for hotels, it can be worth your while to call the hotel group sales manager directly and request a group discount. Perhaps the hotel can be flexible with the standard 30-day cut-off period for group discounts. Or the hotel might offer other amenities such as free breakfast, shuttle service to the funeral or even discounted car rental. It's worth investigating.

With friends and family traveling from out of town, the free Heart2Soul Community is a secure and convenient way to keep everyone in the loop. There, you can share funeral service details and travel-related information, like maps, transportation and accommodation suggestions. You can even leave messages for your guests.
