Death Cafe profile for Hugh O'Brien
Location: United Kingdom
About Hugh O'Brien:
I vwork as a Funeral Planner which is rewarding and I want to help people plan their own funeral.
I prefer to focus on what I call Life - Death Planning and to help people plan and prepare for their departure.
I have compiled the Funeral Planning Journal which I hope will support individual's who are planning for now and after their death.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
I have never been afraid to talk about death and have tried to help people over the years to prepare.
In the UK so few people are happy to discuss us and as a result many are not prepared and leave their families and loved one is a bit of a mess.
I want to meet people who want to discuss death in a sensible way and contribute.
What would you like your legacy to be?
I lived a life.
Thoughts for sharing:
We are all a long time dead.
