Death Cleaning
The Swedish term "döstädning" means 'death cleaning'. Before you prepare the swabs and disinfectant, it is more about the graceful art of decluttering the house...before someone else needs to do it. Death Cleaning is proposed for all those 65 years and above. but why not start earlier? This isn't a long weekend but a guided time of going through each room and discerning

How is will doing?
When at the Death Cafe, we might wonder about whether cremation or burial is the 'way to go', but the legal stuff also might make us worried. So what's the difference between a Power of Attorney and a Will?

In Scottish law, there is a principle that no one has the legal authority to make decisions for another person overt the age of 16 unless you have. a Power Attorney (Adults with

Really love my Death Cafe group. We don’t meet in person all that often but when we do it’s always a treat. #DeathCafe #cake

A two-way swing bridge
This is so different to the Easter message of last week. We celebrate Easter with eggs, daffodils, cheers and songs of praise, and don't forget those wonderful Marmite flavoured Hot Cross Buns... Which is your favourite flavour? But in reality, for the disciples back then it was a time of utter confusion, doubt and anxiety. The disciples were in a lo

Beyond the Cremation?
Sanctuary

There is one way which we can decide 'how to go'. Yes, there is burial - both in a coffin or natural; there is aquamation or terramation - neither of which are really available tin the UK currently; or cremation.

A life size Cow
Not this large though...

When people celebrate the life of a loved one, we may wish for a visible sign. We heard today of a motorbike laying next to the loved one at the Crematorium, so why not a life size cow? It was what the person had asked for.

At a recent funeral the family were invited to be with their relative,

My #DeathCafe group explored historic Sunnyside #Cemetery near #LongBeach yesterday. Some of the names are amazing - I wonder if there are still families using these? I wish I’d snapped a photo of the Blackadder plot. RIP, magnificently named early SoCal residents. #CemeteryPhotography

What happens when we die? #KathrynMannix #TedNewcastle So much has changed since a century ago. In that time antibiotics have advanced so much. We have lost ownership of the process of #death, as we have allowed the medical profession to take care of it for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZDDByT0Vr0 Do we want this to change? #deathcafe https://deathcafe.com/deathcafe/16322/ #Pollokshaws

Death Cafe 10 Jan 23
When you attend a meeting there is normally an agenda, something to look to agree upon. Today, everyone brought their own personal agenda, they sought to find understanding, perhaps a bit of peace. We were fortunate to have Martin, from Malone and Fox the local undertaker, with us to

What to expect at the Death Café
The skeleton is listening!

Atmosphere

If you are expecting a foreboding venue with spiders webs, open coffins and a bit of dampness thrown in, sorry to disappoint. How about a place where we are all welcomed as one whose opinion is worthwhile? We all have to go through this process: with our family, with friends,

Looking forward to pushing through the foggy (and very cold) morning in #Glasgow to host the #deathcafe 12-1pm. The hot soup will be good, but the jovial #mythbusting of the local crematorium director and undertakers will also help. All are welcome #death
