Funeral Luncheon for 75
Janice
02/26/14 		I'm filling in for the normal folks hosting a funeral luncheon. I spoke with the family about their wishes and below is the current menu.

My questions are:
Are the quantities correct?
Are there enough food choices?
Would 5 people working this be enough?
For the sandwiches the family wants pre-made. Should we serve them with the fixings already on them?
Is there anything I am missing?

Any help you could provide would be welcomed.

I don't dress the sandwiches, except mayo. Put mustard on the size. Skip the onions, lettuce and tomatoes. Make some plain cheese in case there are any vegetarians.

Blessings.
