Dying Matters is a broad based and inclusive national U.K.
coalition of 30,000 members, which aims to change public knowledge, attitudes
and behaviours towards dying, death and bereavement.
In 2009, the National Council for Palliative Care (NCPC) set
up the Dying Matters Coalition to promote public awareness of dying, death and
bereavement. It is chaired by Professor Mayur Lakhani, who is a practising GP.
The work of the Coalition is supported by NCPC’s Board of Trustees.
The
Dying Matters Coalition is working to address this by encouraging people to
talk about their wishes towards the end of their lives, including where they
want to die and their funeral plans with friends, family and loved ones.
