We are a digital startup, developing tools and services to provide choice in how, where and when we memorialise those we love.

“We can’t control how or when we die, but we can say how we want to be remembered.”

Revisiting an article from Washington, on the ways that changes in attitudes to death and dying are empowering people across the US to personalise how they say goodbye.

As Rosalie says, definitely worth a read.

For your Friday wind down - Disney and Death, from the ever wonderful @TheGoodDeath.

[Caitlin Doughty Updates @TheGoodDeath]

Have you heard the news? It’s the Wonderful World of #DisneyDeathWeek!
In this 3-part series on Death at Disneyland, we dive into Walt's deep obsession with death and mortality, and reveal how that obsession spilled out into the films and Disney Parks.

Following on from our mention of the new Marie Curie advert the other day, here’s their blog article explaining the roots of some of the expressions we use in the UK to avoid using the D word.

@mariecurieuk Our pleasure, it's a wonderful piece of work in every sense.

[Memmori @mymemmori]

Loving the new @mariecurieuk advert doing the rounds. We do need to talk about ‘it’, and humour is as good a way as any to bridge the distance to those who find this hard.

ICYMI an absolutely fascinating piece In the Washington Post on how Halloween changed in the USA (and as a consequence, for us in the UK too).

[Memmori @mymemmori]

Great advice for a meaningful Halloween experience.

A really interesting article for your half term (Halloween) reading. How did we lose touch with death? Very much worth a look.

We really couldn’t agree more.

Were it needed, yet further proof that @DeathCafe is an incredibly positive movement.

“Death cafes proved to be an effective tool for staff development and increased healthcare professionals’ confidence in discussing death”

ICYMI a great little piece from @BBCBreakfast yesterday, on the increasing number of people donating their bodies to #Science. A more #green and selfless alternative to a traditional #funeral perhaps?

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

Would you consider donating your body to #science?
@BSMSMedSchool say there is a shortage of bodies for medical students to learn from. ⬇️

Nice RT from @DeathCafe from the @guardian - it seems our brains are to blame for our attitude towards death and dying... to quote Homer (Simpson in this case), ‘stupid brain’.

@WillowEoL very kindly (thanks again Michelle) provided us with their 9 things guide on what to include in ‘departure directions’. It makes for some interesting reading, here’s a screen grab but for more information and to download the official PDF version visit their website.

U.S. based @Yesmagazine have a special ‘how to have a good death’ issue coming out soon, and are offering a glimpse inside.

They also have an interesting piece on the rise of the number of death doulas across the country.

@TheBucketOnline The same to you guys, it's absolutely our pleasure. Interesting site, an intriguing way to get people thinking about their own mortality... 👍

[Memmori @mymemmori]
