Planning a Good Death booklet

Advice booklet

Death has always been a taboo subject, however by talking about our wishes for when we die, we can start to break down the barriers and ensure that our final requests are carried out.


The Planning a Good Death booklet covers areas such as care during illness, putting your affairs in order, wills and planning a funeral, as well as information to help you deal with the emotional aspects of dying and bereavement.

A good death can become the ultimate celebration of a good life

Download and read the Planning a Good Death booklet and discover how 'a good death can become the ultimate celebration of a good life'.

Religious communities and groups offer support on caring for those who are terminally ill and their families.

You can find more information about the different faiths on the BBC's Religion and Ethics site.
