Marie Curie launch ‘End of Life List’ to encourage planning for the future
Marie Curie has launched their ‘End of Life List’ to encourage planning for the future.
The document, available in English and Welsh, is a checklist created by clinicians that supports people to think about planning for their end of life. It’s been launched following a poll showing that one in three people in the UK have not given any thought to their end of life wishes.
The End of Life List is divided into five categories:
- Legal and money matters
- People, pets and things important to me
- Advance care plan
- My funeral, wake or celebration of life
- Making and leaving behind memories.
Frances Mulley, Clinical Nurse Manager at Marie Curie, says:
“We find that many people don’t take on any of the planning until it suddenly becomes an urgent issue – and even then, many factors are typically not taken into consideration. Consulting this End of Life List is the first step to ensuring you have control over what happens to you, leading to a better outcome for all.”

Morrisons and Superdrug – who are partners of Marie Curie – are also offering these lists, for free, in their pharmacies.
