About this project
There is a lot of good stuff about death on the internet, but it is scattered about and is often specific to one area about death and dying such as grief or funerals. We don’t want to re-invent any of that excellent material.
Instead, our aim is to summarise helpful information and point you in the direction of useful resources that we have found or that we have developed about death and preparing for death. We provide you with an overview of things to think about, talk about and do, so that death is not a taboo subject in your life.
Perhaps somewhat paradoxically, we have found that the people who have thought about their death, talked about the things they want or do not want and have planned for their mortality have become more relaxed about the inevitable and get more out of their living days.
So get started on Your Death Project!

The Wheel
Unsure where to start? Look at the 'Before I Die Checklist' and ‘A Financial Trial Run’ .
That will give you ideas.
Then in the areas where you want to take action, click on the relevant topic in The Wheel and read just the Actions You Can Take and the Summary.
Most information in our website is aimed at you as the person who will die because it is Your Death Project . Other sections are information for you when supporting the dying person.
