Dying to Know Day Expo 2025

'We are all impacted by death in our lives. It might be for the people we love, or it might be our own.' 

Death and grief happens to all of us, yet it's often the hardest thing to talk about - especially among our own families. Whether it's supporting ageing parents, caring for someone with a life-limiting illness, or planning for a good end of life when it comes, let's talk about the process and what you can do.

Come to our FREE expo where you can:

• hear from local services and organisations, including funeral celebrants, the SWSLHD palliative care service, bereavement services, solicitors and more,

• attend information sessions about advance care planning, how to make a will, the differences between burial and cremation, how to plan a funeral etc.

  Advance Care Planning and Wills information sessions are available in Vietnamese, Chinese & Arabic. Please register when getting your ticket as limited spots available! No registration needed for English sessions.
