Memorial gathering
Commemorating a Life Well Lived
Marking the end of a life is a significant moment, and holding a memorial service for a beloved family member provides a meaningful opportunity for reflection and remembrance.
Our venues offer distinct atmospheres to help you honour your loved one in the most fitting way:
A Maritime Tribute: For those who loved the sea, we recommend the Røylen banquet hall. Situated at the water’s edge at the Norwegian Maritime Museum on the Bygdøy peninsula, it offers a serene and peaceful coastal setting.
Heritage and Warmth: If you prefer a cozy, traditional atmosphere, the Guest Rooms at the Norwegian Folk Museum are a wonderful choice. Featuring warm fireplaces and beautiful hand-painted interiors, these rooms are suitable for both intimate gatherings and larger groups.
Stately Elegance: We also host memorial services at the historic Bogstad Gård manor. The Peder Anker banquet hall is an excellent choice for larger commemorations, comfortably accommodating up to 130 guests.

FAQs
When do I have to clarify how many of us there will be?
You don't necessarily know how many people will come to a memorial service, which is often booked at short notice. Give us an estimate and we will adjust as the details fall into place. We should have an exact number from you no later than three days before the memorial service. If you have a little more than expected, we can adjust for that.
Is there parking nearby and is it easy to access by taxi?
We have free parking for about 20 cars at the Guest Rooms and about 50 cars at Bogstad Gård. Paid parking applies at the Maritime Museum. At all our locations, cars and taxis can drive right up to the front door to drop off guests who are unable to walk.
Do you have catering staff for the memorial service?
Our premises are always staffed by serving staff. They are affiliated with our partners TG Selskapsmat and FoodOccasion, who are responsible for all serving, food and drink on the premises.
It is customary to serve sandwiches and cake at memorial services, but our kitchens have an extensive menu where you can also choose other options. There is a liquor license in all premises, so it is possible to order a glass of wine for anyone who wishes.
Can you serve wine for our memorial service?
There is a liquor license in all our premises, so it is possible to order a glass of wine or bubbles if desired.
Can you show pictures on your screen?
Yes, there is a projector, sound and screen in all our premises that you can use free of charge. We also often set up a table with a white tablecloth, where the family can display pictures, flowers and candles if desired.
