It might be for the people we love\, or it might be our own. \nMcGlynn Hunt Funerals have organised a Dying to Know Day\, held at our premises\, 38-40 Madden Ave\, Mildura on Tuesday\, 5th August. \nD2KD seeks to inspire individuals to prepare for the inevitable not with fear\, but with purpose\, love\, and a focus on legacy. It provides a safe space designed to normalise discussions surrounding death\, dying\, and grief. This initiative encourages individuals to learn about\, engage in\, and plan for their own end-of-life experiences while also supporting others in doing the same. \nWe have invited several guest speakers who will deliver presentations and share valuable insights on end-of-life arrangements. Followed by a Q&A session. \nAttendees are encouraged to participate in an open discussion with both the speakers & MHF staff. Additionally\, visitors are invited to tour our facilities. \nTogether\, we can break down the stigma and sense of awkwardness associated with conversations about death\, dying and grief.

Hundreds of hosts around Australia hold gatherings aimed to normalise conversations about death\, dying and grief\, encouraging individuals to learn about\, discuss\, and plan for their own end-of-life\, and to support others in doing the same. We welcome these meaningful conversations in any location or setting. \nBring a cuppa and enjoy a sweet treat on us this Dying to Know Day (eve). \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Registration has filled for this event.

How many people find that if they do wish to talk about death\, they are dismissed? \nAt a Death Cafe people\, often strangers\, gather to eat cake\, drink tea and discuss death. \nOur objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. \nA Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda\, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. \nNumbers are limited so booking is necessary. To ensure this event is available for all with no barrier we keep the event free and the Cafe is available for refreshments.
