Cultural Differences in Death, Grief and Ritual

Beginning with an introduction to the relationship between culture, death, and grief, the course examines how different communities mark loss through ritual and tradition. 

We will consider the various factors that influence grief responses, including social and spiritual contexts. Through an exploration of mourning practices across the main faith groups in Scotland, the session encourages reflection on how you can offer more culturally sensitive and inclusive support.

This course is ideal for those seeking to deepen their understanding of grief through a cross-cultural lens.
