Dying Matters Week 2019

Every year in May, LOROS hosts Dying Matters, a national awareness-raising week to encourage people everywhere to talk openly about death, dying and bereavement.

It’s not an easy subject to talk about but we hope, by putting the topic out there it will make it easier for people to discuss.

This year we hosted a packed week of activity. Here's some of our highlights:

• Our lip synch video, which aimed to encourage people to pick their funeral song, received more than 100,000 views.

• We Need to Talk About Death with Kathryn Mannix and Amy Voce was a sold-out success, with another 4,000 people watching it live on Facebook and Twitter.

• Patron Greg Davies and comedian Barry Castagnola recorded an episode of the award winning podcast Griefcast, hosted by comedian and actress Cariad Lloyd.
