Death, Dying and Bereavement Open Day

Organised by One Dalkeith

8th May 2024

One Dalkeith, 21 Eskdaill Court, Dalkeith EH22 1AG 

This event is open to the public.

One Dalkeith is delighted to have funding support from Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief to provide Demystifying Death Week opportunities for people to: 

• interact with a community group creating a mixed media quilt in memory of people that have died by suicide
• have a natter with professionals who will guide and advise on preparing for dying and the physiology of death
• join round table discussions that will consider developing a Death Plan and how to take pressure off and bring comfort to loved ones in the run up to or after death
• meet grief counsellors who will discuss support to understand how grief affects each of us differently
• come together with experts specialising in relaxation techniques that will provide support through bereavement and stress
• talk to experts in financial signposting in the event of hardship

We have invited local partners, such as Funeral Directors, Celebrants and Religious Leaders to take part in discussions on matters such as developing Advanced Funeral and Farewell Wishes, cremation vs. burial, Funeral Plans, Living Funerals, Memorial Services, and much more. "Another new experience comes to Dalkeith!"
