Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland will be celebrating ‘Dying Matters Week’ during May 2013 by providing information to the public through joining together with other organisations who work in the area of Bereavement and Loss.
The subject this year is “Be ready for it” and it suggests that people can prepare in five ways in order to “live well and die well”. These are:
Making a will
Record your funeral wishes
Plan your future care and support
Register as an organ donor
Tell your loved ones your wishes.
We are holding an information day on Saturday 18th May where there will be short presentations from organisations including:
Solicitor
Funeral director
Bereavement practitioners
Health professionals
Specialist organ donation nurses
Citizens Advice
Financial Advisors
Creative Therapies
The event is free of charge and open to anyone and will be held at Butterwick Hospice, Bishop Auckland 10am-4pm.
