The fifth episode in the More Than a Shop podcast series explores something we all, sadly, will inevitably face in our lives.
Elizabeth Alker discusses end of life – how to talk about it, how to plan for it – with Co‑op Funeralcare’s Raegan Drew and Methodist minister, writer and filmmaker Kathleen Loughlin. We also hear from the Death Café in Manchester a safe, a safe, informal space for people to talk about death and grief. This episode was recorded before the Covid-19 pandemic and does not reflect current funeral restrictions or other impacts of the pandemic.
