This year’s theme and focus is all about personalising final arrangements and building community!
Dying to Know Dayis hoping to facilitate meaningful conversations among individuals from diverse communities, encouraging each person to share their unique stories, ideas and opinions on what truly matters in their end of life plans. In return, the campaign hopes to empower Australians to feel supported and inspired by their own wishes for their final arrangements and help to dismantle the misconception that end of life planning must be a solitary endeavour.
Daniel Woods Funeral Care work closely with the Murrumbidgee Local Are Health District and Palliative Care team by participating in various events held across the region on the 8th August.
Unfortunately, death is still viewed as a morbid topic in our culture, and this is affecting the decisions we Australians make and the quality of care received as we age, but there can be real benefits to making your wishes known during your lifetime and involving family and friends in the process.
This year’s Dying to Know Day on the 8th August is a perfect time for you to begin the conversation well before anyone has to act or make important decisions on your behalf – whether it’s about your will, how you want to be cared for if you lose capacity, or what your wishes are for how you will be farewelled and memorialised”.
If you can’t make our Dying to Know event on the 7th August, we encourage you to sit down with a pen and paper or perhaps share a coffee with a family member or friend this Dying to Know Day and have the conversation or perhaps jump onto this webinar on the 7th August to learn more on how you can “Get Dead Set”.
