This Dying Matters Week, we want to open up a conversation about great death care — what it is and why it matters.
Knowing that the people close to us are treated with care and respect after they've died can make a huge difference to family and friends. It’s something that affects us all, yet often care for the dead is shrouded in secrecy and silence.
We're proud of the care we give at Poppy’s and we’re pushing for excellent care to become normal across the sector.
We hope you’ll join us at our Dying Matters Week open day to see for yourself. Visit our beautiful light-filled mortuary, meet our team, learn more about how we care for the dead, and ask any questions.
Come and see for yourself.
The visit starts at 2pm and lasts about an hour.
