Ask a ... Funeral Director

Most people will attend a funeral at some point in their lives but the likelihood is that they will experience only a few variations in a sea of possibilities.

Does a funeral mean you have to wear black? What if you’re concerned about the environmental impact – is there such a thing as an eco-funeral? What does direct cremation actually involve and is it really any cheaper like the adverts suggest? What does a funeral director even do and do you really need one (spoiler alert: not necessarily!)

Funerals are incredibly personal and should be unique to the individual but we’re not always sure what’s allowed or appropriate.

If you’ve got a burning question about funeral planning but have never found the right time to ask, then come along to this talk, discover what’s possible and get that question answered once and for all!

This event is suitable to all aged 18+. Tickets are free, but donations towards our charity Libraries Unlimited on the day are gratefully received.
