LISTEN: Moray shoppers kill-off death awareness event
Elgin shop shut-down over coffin window display complaints
Plans to raise awareness about death have been buried after complaints from customers at a Moray shopping venue.
A pop-up shop at Elgin's St Giles Shopping Centre has cancelled its events after complaints about the coffin in its window display.
The people behind 'Pushing up the daisies' say "sadly" no one will get to see the planned demonstration of how a coffin is made, after customers killed-off the event with their complaints.
It prompted the shopping centre's management to put a stop to the pop-up shop's activities.
Organiser Jane Duncan Rogers told MFR News: "It seems ironic that in Death Awareness Week it is due to objections about a coffin, something we will all need, that the event has had to be cancelled.
"The purpose of the week is to bring death into the open so that people can prepare for it."
