Burial or cremation? Learn more at the Dying to Know Day event

Dying to Know Day events are held across Australia during August, with the aim of fostering deep conversations about the one thing everyone has in common — death.

Have you ever wondered what to do if you were asked to organise a funeral? Burial or cremation? Where would you find information?

For most people, arranging a funeral is not something they do every day but at Gregson & Weight Funeral Directors, we do. By raising awareness, we can de-mystify the topic of death and dying. We can talk about end-of-life planning and encourage open discussions, to help you make informed decisions.

Meet the team at our Dying to Know Day event from 8am – 12 noon on Saturday 9 August. The team from 104.9 Sunshine FM will be hosting a live outside broadcast and there’ll be displays including our fleet of hearses, eco-friendly coffins, urns and jewellery. We’ll have information available about Sunshine Coast cemeteries, funeral bonds, VAD (voluntary assisted dying), grief support and body donation programs. We’ll also be doing guided tours of the mortuary and chapel.

“We’ve been supporting families on the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland for over 50 years, so our experienced team of arrangers truly know what organising a funeral is all about. When it comes to pre-planning funerals, it can be hard thinking about the inevitable, but it just makes good sense. Everyone is welcome at our Open Day to see what goes on behind the scenes,” general manager Luke Gregson said.

Visit the Gregson & Weight Funeral Directors Open Day on Saturday 9 August, at our Buderim Branch, 159 Wises Road, Buderim from 8.00am – 12 noon. For more information call 54911559.
