"In the sleepless, numbing frenzy of organising the funeral, the most important response to the death of your loved one–the creation of a meaningful tribute to their life–can get overlooked."

Most people — despite knowing all the facts — simply believe that ‘it’s never going to happen to me.’
Are we too optimistic to plan ahead?

Tom helped organise a living funeral for his dying grandfather, who wanted one last celebration with his friends.
"It was surreal, celebrating his life while he was there. But it was his wish, and you could tell he enjoyed it.
It’s a happy memory.”

Great examples of key information that may be needed in onward referral - in all cases early referral is key to enable specialist teams to respond #TipsForNewDocs#dontdelay#TeamNHS

Good to know that the government is taking action against those who “prey on people when they are in [an] emotional and vulnerable state.” In our experience too many families are left bewildered and out of pocket when funeral plans fail to deliver. https://t.co/QEpEpaZgy4
Our Grieving for a Pet day during Dying Matters week was our busiest day for social media! Thank you for all your pictures.
Did you know that the Woodland Trust offers that chance to dedicate a tree or piece of woodland to your pet? https://t.co/zKyyyhTXZV
