Refreshments by donation
The average cost of a funeral is £4,500 and even the cheapest Direct Cremations costing between £1,000 and £1,500, having to pay for a funeral has become a major finacial issue for many people leading to long term debt and use food banks.
This event would be especially useful for people supporting those on low incomes, people facing issues such as debt and homelessness, or their own imminent death or that of someone close.
The event will also encompass the caring and respect needed to support people facing this financial and emotionally challenging time.
Organised by Dead Good Days, a Southampton based network which creates events, workshops and talks to inform and equip us to deal better with death, dying and loss.
