Description

‘A surprisingly fascinating read. Who thought death could be so interesting?’ – PRUE LEITH

‘A vitally important book for anyone who thinks they might die at some point. Do not buy this book if you are already dead. It’s too late. Repeat. Do not buy this if you’re dead.’ – RICHARD HERRING

Welcome mortal, to your little book of death homework. A practical, compassionate and laugh out loud guide to preparing for the end.

An informative, practical and yet highly entertaining read from former comedian and council funeral officer Evie King, who walks you through everything you need to sort your death out, so others don’t have to.

Have you ever sat down and thought about what happens after you die? And have you told anyone what you want when you’re gone? Probably not. Sort your death out, so you can get on and enjoy the rest of your life.

As well as recounting real-death stories, Evie takes you through a series of lessons and exercises spanning all things death preparation, including advice on how to:
* Think about what you really want to happen at your funeral
* Express your wishes to avoid post-death pandemonium
* Clear your clutter so that those you love don’t have to
* Ensure the admin of your life can be packed down quickly and efficiently
* Plan your post-death online life.

Get Ahead of Being Dead is a gift to your future (dead) self. By taking control and preparing for death, you can prepare to live … and do both better as a result.
