A seminar series hosted by St Barnabas Church in Ngongotaha will allow people of all ages to put aside their fears and explore the final taboo.
Now in its third year, the free seminar series will run over four weeks, providing an opportunity to discuss all aspects of dying, including
funeral planning, spiritual matters, and dealing with grief.
The first seminar on March 16 features guest speakers who will cover legal matters associated with death or disability, including wills and powers of attorney.
Facilitator Helen Boardman said the seminars appeared to be filling an important niche in community education, and provided a forum where people could speak freely about a subject that was often shied away from.
"We have been surprised by the number of people, and the range of ages, who have attended," she said.
