About our workshop hosts:Lis Whybrow is a solicitor who has practiced law for over 30 years and trained would-be solicitors in the area of law to do with death and dying.She is excited about people engaging in those important conversations and taking appropriate practical action to protect those they care about most. She has lectured extensively to business people, medical professionals and law students and her hands-on approach in practice shows her empathy and care for those clients she seeks to advise and help.

Fran Glover is an undertaker and she sees first hand what families go through if they haven’t had the chance to have the big conversations before someone dies. But these conversations are never easy to have, and without doubt are best had before anyone becomes ill. Death Cafes are one way of encouraging those conversations in non-clinical, comfortable environments. Death is a fact of life – get the conversations out the way; and then carry on living.
