Join Golden Charter in Holyrood
Funeral directors are invited to a special reception at the Macdonald Holyrood Hotel on Wednesday 15 May to mark Good Death Week 2019.
MSPs from across Scotland’s political spectrum are to attend the event, arranged by Golden Charter for 6pm.
The invitation said: “Scotland is in the midst of a landmark conversation on what constitutes a ‘good death’. As a member of the Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief alliance, Golden Charter wishes to bring together leading thinkers from the funeral profession, civil society and parliament to reflect on the changing societal culture around death and dying, to share ideas, and to listen to each other.”
Speakers will include Richard Lyle MSP, Convener of the Cross Party Group on Funerals and Bereavement, Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief’s Robert Peacock, and Golden Charter CEO Suzanne Grahame, on the role of funeral directors in promoting a good death in the community. Excerpts from short film 20 Takes on Death and Dying will also be shown.
Funeral directors also have the option to sign up for a special tour of parliament.
