Creightons Funeral Service will host a Dying to Know Day aimed at shining a light on the power and diversity surrounding end of life planning in Australia.
Two information sessions supporting the national campaign will be held at Hillside Chapel, Palmdale, and St Patricks of Nulkaba at Cessnock on August 8.
The annual campaign is aimed at shifting the narrative around death, dying and end of life planning with guest speakers discussing wills and probate with local lawyers, Advance Care Directives with representatives from NSW Health, assisted dying updates, and prepaid funeral plan information.
Dying to Know Day aims to shine a light on the transformative power of community in helping to dissolve the discomfort of talking about death and dying and encourage individuals to talk about their own unique final arrangements.
This year’s focus is on personalised final arrangements and building community.
“We want to call out the powerful role that community plays in supporting conversations around death and dying, and encourage each person to share their unique stories, ideas and opinions on what truly matters in their end of life plans,” Palmdale Group Community Liaison Manager Lyn Parkes said.
To start the conversation with others in the community, Creightons is hosting the two information sessions where attendees can enjoy light refreshments and engage in meaningful conversations with fellow attendees.
These are free events for the community, and all are welcome to attend.
The local event will be at Hillside Chapel, Palmdale Lawn Cemetery and Memorial Park, 57 Palmdale Rd, Palmdale between 2pm and 3.30pm on August 8.
