This Maillards’ community project brings pop-up funeral arrangements to venues around the island.

We create informal spaces for people to talk about their lasting wishes, pre-arranging funerals and to help them understand the funeral planning process.
Customers from our pop-up Meet and Greet sessions have said that they preferred talking in these informal spaces and have learnt a lot in the process.

We are building awareness and helping to ‘break the taboo’ by taking the stigma out of talking about funerals.

It is not something that anybody should shy away from, and talking helps which is why we have been running these pop-up events in different venues around the island.

Thanks to everyone who came along for a chat and thanks to the café for the delicious coffee!

For our first ‘Meet and Greet’ event we set up at Holme Grown in Grouville, and what a pleasure it was to meet so many passers-by who stopped for a chat and a cup of tea or coffee with us.

Something we have taken away from this first session is that there are many of you who preferred the informal setting of a café, making it easier to discuss the matters of funerals.
