Day 7 of Dying Matters Awareness Week (4th-10th May) Dying Matters

It’s the final day of Dying Matters Awareness Week, but keep talking about the loved ones you’ve lost.
Keep having those conversations about what death and dying mean to you and what your wishes are for your funeral. It makes it that bit easier for those left behind.
