Talking about dying isn’t easy. That’s why we are supporting Dying Matters Awareness Week to encourage everyone to get talking in a way which works for them. Dying Matters is a campaign run by the charity, Hospice UK.
The theme of Dying Matters Awareness Week 2026 is ‘Let’s talk about death and dying’.
| Let’s talk about death and dying
According to a poll commissioned by Celebration Day, 27% of people find it hard to talk about death with family or friends, and 30% bottle their feelings up.
By communicating with family, friends and colleagues, it can be easier to cope with death, dying and bereavement when we experience it.
| Planning for death
We know that it can feel difficult to think about death. But making plans for what happens after your death can help you, your family and friends.
At Levi Solicitors we are proud to have a compassionate and sensitive wills, probate and estate planning team who can help you discuss and plan for your future. Whether that’s by planning for your future care or making a will.
Talking to your loved ones about your plans can help them think practically about the eventuality. It can also help set their mind at ease that you have put plans in place, and help avoid family disagreements later.
We have committed to take action to offer an Age and Dementia Friendly service across our offices, and to help make Leeds the best city to grow old in. We are members of Age Friendly Leeds and Dementia Friendly Leeds, and all our solicitors are Dementia Friends.
If you are looking for guidance on planning for yours or a loved one’s future, please call our wills, probate and estate planning team on 0800 988 7756 or book an appointment here.
