We’re all going to die. We might as well have a giggle first.
Most of us would rather clean the oven than talk about death. Yet the families who cope best are nearly always the ones who talked about it early, plainly and with a bit of humour.
Dying to Talk is a warm, witty little book that makes that first conversation easier. Leave it on the coffee table, read a quote out over Sunday lunch, or slip it to the relative who keeps saying “I’ll sort it out one day.”

A will is the only letter you write that everyone actually reads.
What’s inside
- Famous last laughsWoody Allen, Mark Twain, Spike Milligan and more, honestly attributed.
- Fresh quipsOriginal one-liners on wills, funerals, LPAs and getting older. Borrow them for a speech or a eulogy.
- Conversation startersThe first sentence is the hardest. These do the heavy lifting for you.
- Six close-call storiesWhen a will or LPA was needed fast, each with a clear lesson.
From the close-call stories
A hospice will signed by the Wednesday darts team. A sunny Padstow wedding that quietly cancelled a will. A bank that wouldn’t budge without an LPA. And Captain Feathers, an African grey parrot who could do a flawless impression of the microwave and was always going to outlive his owner.
The stories are made up, but the law behind each one is real for England and Wales.
