The Last Word: What’s stopping us from talking about our final wishes?

Our latest independent research provides valuable insight and learnings on our behaviours, needs and expectations when it comes to death and funeral planning.

While the one thing we can be certain of in life is death, why is discussing it such a taboo topic?

Our exclusive research helps us both understand the range of challenges bereavement poses today - and how we can take action to make a real change.

The Last Word - 97% of those bereaved in the last two years did not go to their employer for comfort or support.

No age group is exempt from experiencing death, with 1 in 3 (36%) of UK adults having lost someone in the last 2 years. Yet we often spend more time protecting replaceable items such as our phones and cars for events that might never happen. Have we got our priorities wrong not then preparing for what we all know is a certainty?

A legacy of love

And who is it that we should have these conversations with and how? Will it make a difference? The insights uncovered highlight that by opening up on this difficult subject, employers can make a significant difference to those left behind.

Having earlier conversations – and planning – has a big impact on those left behind. That’s why it’s so vital to begin the conversation now.

How else can we support you in opening up the conversation around death, and what tools are available?
