Stirling Voluntary Aid Department (VAD)
|
Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) were set up in 1909 and could be attached to the British Red Cross Society, the Order of St John (now known as St John's Ambulance Society) or the Territorial Forces Association. The term VAD was also used for individual members of the organisation. During the First World War VADs were administered through the Joint War Committee of the British Red Cross and the Order of St John Detachments consisted of a Commandant, a Lady Supervisor and 20 volunteers, usually women. Four of these were to be trained cooks and initially the work was confined to the home front. Later, VADs were sent to hospitals in France.

Falkirk District Council : Cemeteries & Crematorium
|
Local authorities became responsible for cemeteries from 1866. Church graveyards which were previously the responsibility of the Heritors transferred into the care of the Town Councils or the Parochial Board, (subsequently the Parish Council and then the District Councils set up by County Councils). Some cemeteries were run by Joint Committees of two or more local authorities. Grandsable Cemetery was one example of this: run by a joint committee of Polmont Parish and Grangemouth Parish, and serving both areas. Cremation was permitted by and Act of Parliament in 1902 and Falkirk Crematorium was built in 1959. Responsibility for cemeteries and the crematorium transferred to Falkirk District Council in 1975 and then to Falkirk Council in 1996. Cemeteries and Crematorium section was a part of the Amenity & Recreation Department in 1975, and then the Leisure Department. In 1996 it became a section of Community Services
