What’s the expo about?
It's about planning the best end of life possible. We're bringing together advocates and experts from a world most of us know little about.
Dying Differently: Discover a myriad of options other than a traditional church funeral, overseen by a funeral director. Learn about DIY funerals, living wakes, water cremations, home funerals and more.
Your Dog Deserves a Good Ending Too: Rest Your Paws will be here to share peaceful, in your own home end of life options for your precious pets, for the best farewell possible.
Your Digital Legacy: What happen to your phone, your laptop and all your passwords when you can't manage your online presence any more?
Wills & Powers of Attorney: Dying without a will is one of the worst legacies you can leave your loved ones. FInd out why and how to fix that.
A Better Way to Die: Meet the Doulas and End of Life Guides reshaping people's final days and taking the stress for those left behind.
Insights Into Your End-of-Life Choices: Palliative care, organ donation, VAD, (Voluntary Assisted Dying), and Organ Donation. Choose your own path - and share it with friends or family.
