Society’s changing attitudes to death over the past 100 years have been examined during a talk by a Carrickfergus funeral director.

Chris Scott from Wilton Funeral Service in Carrickfergus (formerly McConnell’s) was invited to speak to St Colman’s Ladies Group, Carrickfergus last Wednesday evening (November 1). Chris was accompanied by Angela Cole, a funeral arranger with Wilton’s.

Since his teenage years, Chris has had a keen interest in local history, and at an early age interviewed older members of the community and recorded their stories for posterity.
