Filming Day for a Demystifying Funerals Resource

Filming Day for a Demystifying Funerals Resource

Organised by the Scottish Independent Celebrants' Association

12th May 2024

Brewsterwells Crematorium, Fife

This event is not open to the public. It is a filming day to create a resource to be used in the future.

SICA is organizing and recording two “staged” funerals at Brewsterwells Crematorium, Fife, on Sunday, 12 May as part of Demystifying Death Week.   These will be for imagined people but otherwise conducted exactly as they would if they were “real”. A professional photographer and a videographer will record both ceremonies to provide us with images and video that can then be used by SICA and its members and associates to demystify and explain what actually happens in a modern crematorium funeral service. We aim for these materials to provide a template and a toolkit to organize further events that can explore other types of funerals such as natural burials or ceremonies in community venues.

The event is not open to the general public but if you are interested in taking part it may be possible for a small number of non-SICA members to attend.
