Thinking about end of life information guide
Thinking about life ending can be difficult – many of us tend to not think about it until we have to. But it’s a good idea to give yourself time to think and talk through all of your options. Planning ahead can make you feel more in control and gives yourself and your loved ones peace of mind that your wishes are known. Our guide can help you to prepare.

- how to start conversations with family and friends
- making a will
- planning your funeral
- writing an advance statement of wishes
