Give your residents the ‘funeral planning’ help they need at end of life

eziFunerals is pleased to offer a FREE and unique funeral planning service for your residents as a value-added benefit through a network of nursing homes, retirement villages and aged care service providers Australia wide including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and Canberra.

Although there is increased awareness for Advanced health care planning at the end of life, funeral planning is often ignored by the aged care sector. We often talk about planning for a good death, but what about a good goodbye, after death?

 

What the research is telling us

While most Australians want to die at home, only 14% do so, with 86% dying in a hospital or residential care.

According to the Grattan Institute, about 70% of deaths are unexpected, with many people knowing when they are likely to die. Most of these deaths are likely to occur in an aged care facility.

In the latest Australian Seniors Insurance Agency’s Circle Of Life Study, an online survey of 1000 over-50s, respondents attitudes to death and funerals were recorded.

Attitudes to death and dying

  • 82% think about their death at least occasionally or more.
  • 79% are somewhat comfortable or very comfortable to talk about death and dying.
  • 75% believe more conversation about death and dying is required.
  • Only 17% are planning for their funeral in advance.

Attitudes to funerals

  • 83% would like their family to be in charge of arranging their funeral.
  • Less than 1 in 5 (19%) think it should be in the hands of the Funeral Director.
  • 63% are worried about the emotional burden of the funeral on the family.
