Forget everything you think you know about death – this is a real eye opener

Date:

Who says conversations about death have to be gloomy? This August, The West Talks Death: A Dying to Know Day Expo is throwing open the doors to an afternoon that’s equal parts fascinating, inspiring and empowering, and everyone’s invited! 

This free community event is bringing together 25+ exhibitors, advocates and speakers for an afternoon packed with practical advice, surprising conversations and eye-opening insights into a world most of us never think about…until it’s too late. If you’ve ever wondered about voluntary assisted dying, advance care planning, palliative care, or simply how to start ‘that conversation’ with your loved ones, this day is for you.

Come for a chat about: 

  • End of Life Planning
  • Palliative care
  • Natural Death
  • Powers of Attorney (Medical and Financial)
  • Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD)
  • Wills and Legal Requirements,
  • Your Digital Legacy
  • Organ Donation
  • Navigating the new Home Care System
  • Voluntary Euthanasia
  • Grief Counselling
  • Natural & Eco-Friendly Burial Options 

and more.

Don’t let the name fool you—this isn’t an event about endings. It’s about living well ‘til the end, planning wisely and giving yourself and your family the gift of certainty. Discover resources you never knew existed, and people who can answer all those awkward questions. You might just walk away having started one of the most important conversations of your life.

Mark 8 August in your calendar, bring your curiosity and prepare to see one of life’s biggest taboos in a whole new light.

It’s a guaranteed eye opener.
