Burial Strategy

for Dumfries and Galloway Consultation

Community Conversations

Please come along and tell us your thoughts to help us develop a burial strategy for Dumfries and Galloway.

We understand bereavement is a sensitive subject but it is important that we are able to seek the views of our communities to help us shape the future of the service.  

There are in-person conversations and online sessions, for anyone who cannot attend in person. 

Our face-to-face sessions will include a presentation and discussion for the first hour followed by a drop-in session for anyone who would like to learn more and complete the survey.

Online sessions

Thursday 22 June, 7pm – 8.30pm

Wednesday 28 June, 7pm – 8.30pm

To register for the online sessions please email burialstrategyconsultation@dumgal.gov.uk
