Dying Matters Awareness Week is a campaign by the Dying Matters
Coalition. This year’s theme is: ‘Be
ready for it’, and is aimed at encouraging members of the public to take five
steps to ‘make their end of life experience better, both for them and for their
loved ones.
The five steps are: 1. Make a will • 2. Record your
funeral wishes • 3. Plan your future care and support • 4. Register as an organ
donor • 5. Tell your loved ones your wishes.’
(Dying
Matters Coalition, 2013).
