To Absent Friends

To Absent Friends, a people's festival of storytelling and remembrance, drew to a close in early November, after an event-packed week that saw people across Scotland taking time out to remember and tell stories of loved ones who had died.

The festival was initiated by Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief, the SPPC-led alliance working to make Scotland a place where people can be open about death, dying and bereavement.

People from across Scotland took part in the festival, either by attending one of the many public events, holding their own private acts of remembrance, or contributing to memorial activities on the festival website and across social media.

A summary and a photo gallery showcasing just a few of the amazing variety of events that took place is available - if you took part in the festival and would like to share your experiences, please get in touch.
