Tending to Death

Saturday 4th November 2023 2-4pm

@ Finn’s Place, 167 Ledard Road, Glasgow G42 9QU

We would love you to join us.

Ever wondered how we tend to those who have died? Ever dreamt of how our communities can weave stories, memories and collective care around death?

Come to one of our events on storytelling and learning about our rights and options.
There will be space for remembrance and telling our own stories; to vision how we would like to care for those who we have lost differently; and to explore our legal rights, options and what we can expect in Scotland.
 
Our event at Finn’s Place will be part of the To Absent Friends Festival and have a remembrance theme.
 
Author of “Slow Down when Someone Dies” Kate Clark will be present and part of the discussions.
 
You don’t have to register but it helps us plan.

Slow Down When Someone Dies
