SUMMARY:Intro to low-cost funerals\, death shrouding\, rites and rituals
DESCRIPTION:We’re so excited to be working with @the_downs_crematorium and @dagmara.rudkin from @lunaarts_org to bring you this event!\nThis April\, we’ll be talking about how to keep a funeral low(er) cost\, whilst still being beautiful and respectful. Andrea from Downs Crematorium will show us how to make a beautiful floral arrangement or tribute\, using supermarket-bought flowers. We’ll have Dagmara’s beautiful\, handmade shrouds as well as simple\, plain calico ones. Ioonah Woods and Mary DeLiso from Brighton Death Collective will be demonstrating how a “Blessing the Body” ritual is done\, and you’ll have an opportunity to try out different ways of using shrouds to wrap a body (we have some lovely\, willing volunteers who have kindly said they are happy for us to wrap them up like a burrito!). \nThis is a size-inclusive\, disabled-friendly event\, and we’ll be talking about and showing how to shroud a larger body. Our shroud trays have been made by @wovenfarewell and our larger tray can accommodate a person who is up to 200cm/78 inch tall\, with space up to 90cm/35inch wide. \nIntro to Low-Cost Funerals\, Death Shrouding\, Rites and Rituals \nSaturday April 25th 2026\n10am – 1pm\nMain Chapel\, Downs Crematorium\, Bear Road Entrance \nFree Entry\, No booking required\, just turn up.\nPlease arrive by 10am.
