Free information seminar and discussion
There is one thing in life that is certain, but it's not something we often talk about. At Death Café, you are invited to gather with others to drink tea and coffee, eat cake and discuss death and the ways we can make the most of our (finite) lives.
The event will provide you with valuable information that you can use in planning to age and die well, from a legal, financial and practical point of view. Join Sutherland Shire for a conversation and have your questions answered about death, dying, practical preparations and options available for end of life.
Wednesday 6th November 10:30am to 12:30pm in Sutherland Library (30-36 Belmont St.). Morning tea provided. Bookings are essential. Call: 9710 0351.
