Six mention wakes, funerals or celebrations of life on their website: Como Bowling and Recreation Club; Perth Football Club, Lathlain Function Centre; Victoria Park Carlisle Bowling Club; Melville Bowling Club (Melville Bowls); The Raffles Hotel; and Victoria Park Hotel.

Which venues south of the river can hold the most people?

By the largest seated figure each venue publishes: Perth Football Club, Lathlain Function Centre (220 seated), Victoria Park Hotel (100 seated) and The Raffles Hotel (80 seated). These are usually for the venue’s biggest room, so ask about smaller rooms for a smaller wake.

Yes. The Windsor Hotel says all its function spaces have no room hire fee. Food and drink are still charged. Victoria Park Hotel advertises free room hire on functions held before the end of October 2026. See wake venues with free room hire for each venue’s exact words.

How much does a wake cost south of the river?
