A funeral celebrant tells her story

Author and funeral celebrant Eike Tiedemann reads from her book "Das ist dann wohl die letzte Party" - a collection of amusing and thought-provoking stories about grief and death - at the vhs-Forum in the Werretalhalle in Löhne. She unravels the mystery of Bachelbill and Stern, moving between solemnity and the perfect playlist.

The focus is on practical questions: what music should be played? How do you find the right words? What do you wear? Tiedemann talks about symbols, traditions and rituals, and shares a funeral etiquette guide drawn from her hands-on advisory book. A Q&A session and book signing follow the reading.

In Löhne, Eike Tiedemann is also known as an alto soloist at concerts. She approaches funeral services and concert programmes by the same principle: personal, accessible, and audience-centred.

Doors open at 14:00, the event starts at 14:30. The ticket price includes a drink (water or spritzer), coffee, biscuits and a slice of butter cake. Tickets are available online at www.reservix.de, at the door on the day (subject to availability), and in advance at vhs Löhne and authorised pre-sale outlets.
