Pushing Up The Daisies

RCN SC046808, Elgin

Pushing up the Daisies is a pioneering Scotland-wide charity. Our aim is for everyone in Scotland to know their practical options and legal rights immediately after someone dies and to be able to spend time with them in the place of their choice if that is their wish.

Since our inception in 2016, we have offered an advice line and well-received, inspiring and informative education to hospice staff, end-of-life companions, celebrants and the general public. The charity’s Daisy Chain of volunteers around Scotland helps people consider all their options and how best to look after themselves, including the option to keep someone in the privacy and comfort of home after their last breath. 

Since November 2021 we have provided a service in the Moray area (afterthelastbreath.scot) to practically assist people who want to take charge of someone in the days after their last breath and be involved in the arrangements for their burial or cremation. This is aimed to be instead of or alongside funeral directors.
