Falkirk Council to hold events to mark Demystifying Death Week
A series of events are taking place across the Falkirk area next month to mark Demystifying Death Week.
The initiative, which runs from May 4 to May 10, is a national programme encouraging open conversations about dying, death and bereavement.
Local events will all take place at Falkirk Crematorium in Camelon Cemetery, in Dorrator Road and include a tour of the crematorium from 2pm to 3pm on Tuesday, May 5.
D Word founder Gillian Robertson will give a talk from 5pm to 6.30pm on Wednesday, May 6 about “What Happens When Someone Close Dies”, which will be followed by tea, coffee and open conversation.
Historian Geoff Bailey will lead a guided walk through the cemetery from 5pm to 6.30pm on Friday, May 8, exploring its history and the stories behind it.
Then, to round the week off, another guided tour will take place at the crematorium from 10am to 11am on Saturday, May 9.
