Your Farewell Wishes

(For adults)

In celebration of Dying to Know Day 2025, we are pleased to host Your Farewell Wishes with Julie Carlton.

The workshop aims to empower you to embrace your identity, and create an end-of-life plan with your wishes documented to reflect the unique person you are.
It’s about starting those important conversations, reflecting on what matters most to you, and making sure your loved ones understand your wishes. Be challenged, encouraged and resourced make your final arrangements now.

No matter your age or current state of health it's timely to think about what type of funeral, memorial or celebration of life you want to have, and how you would like your life journey to be remembered and honoured.

About Julie Carlton: Julie is an experienced hills-based Funeral, Memorial and Celebration of Life Celebrant. Over the past 18 years she has found working with bereaved families extremely rewarding and considers it an honour to do this important work, to create memorable farewell ceremonies for loved ones.

About Dying to Know Day: Dying to Know Day (D2KDay) was launched in 2013, and it takes place annually on August 8th. It is a day of action, to encourage open and honest conversations about death and dying across Australia. Its purpose is to challenge the silence around these topics and empower individuals to take control of their end-of-life decisions. The goal has always been to ensure that those who face the end of their lives have their own wishes and experiences honoured by those who care, including the community within which they live.
