Quiet gathering space inside the Peterson-Dumesnil House for memorials and celebrations of life

Memorial Gatherings

A historic, quiet setting for celebrations of life and remembrance gatherings. The Peterson-Dumesnil House offers a calm backdrop, on-site parking, and a Clementine team that has done this before — the details get handled so families and friends can focus on each other.

What is included

  • Full setup of seating, tables, linens, and serving stations
  • Catering tailored to the gathering — light reception fare, family-style meal, or formal dinner
  • Beverage service including wine, beer, coffee, and non-alcoholic options
  • Service team handling refills, clearing, and breakdown discreetly
  • Coordination with funeral home, officiant, or family contact on timing and arrival flow

These events are different from weddings. We approach them quietly: less back-and-forth on planning, more direct decisions, a single point of contact who handles the rest. Families have been holding these gatherings at the Peterson-Dumesnil House for decades.
