Overview

At some time, we will have to face the reality of death. For many people, this can be an unpleasant and disturbing thought. It is part of nature to put unpleasant thoughts, such as death, out of our mind.
 
Recognising death means becoming aware of our own mortality. The result is that, when a death does occur, family and friends are often unprepared for the decisions and arrangements that have to be made.
