Welcome to the home of The Art of Dying Well podcast. Our podcast aims to make death and dying something we can talk about openly without discomfort or fear. Presented by James Abbott, our award-winning show features James in conversation with a guest on a key topic related to the Art of Dying Well, taking in everything from being at the bedside of a dying loved one, to receiving a terminal diagnosis. Coping with grief, bereavement, death, dying, and much more are all under discussion.

Today we look at the world of the funeral director – looking after families and final wishes in the immediate aftermath of the death of a loved one. Not an easy job. Paul Allcock is our main studio guest. ‘Death Chatter’ asks ‘Funeral Directors – Who Cares?’ and we finish with ‘The View from the Chaplain’s Chair’. Our guest is the excellent Rev Andrew Goodhead.
