On Wednesday 17th September from 6:30 pm – 8 pm, a team from Co-op Life Services will host its “Planning for Peace of Mind” event, at Co-op Funeralcare The Knowle.
As part of the Life Services event, attendees will hear from expert speakers, including Funeral Planning Arranger, Claire Dewhirst, and Head of Customer and Commercial Probate, Chris Dingley, who will provide advice on later life planning including, funeral plans, wills, and lasting powers of attorney.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions during a live panel Q&A.

Research commissioned by Co-op Life Services found that more than half (52%) of UK adults say they would consider taking out a funeral plan*, but only 5% have actually done so**. Similarly, just over a quarter (28%) of adults in the UK have a will in place,** and only 7% have set up a lasting power of attorney for themselves.**
Caoilionn Hurley, Managing Director of Co-op Life Services, said: “We understand that later life planning can be a difficult conversation for people, and we want to help open up those conversations in a comforting space. However, planning for later life doesn’t have to be a scary topic; it’s about peace of mind for you and your loved ones by starting the conversation now to make more informed choices for the future.
