A group of friends have gathered for a “death-planning party” to make plans for their funerals and fill out the documents together, to make it a less “daunting” experience.

Organiser Dee Stokes says she wants people to be prepared so loved ones aren’t left with all the decisions, following the “confronting and scary” task of organising her twin sister’s funeral.

Independent funeral director Bec Lyons, who provides information about funerals to the party attendees, says she is flooded with messages about people wanting a similar party.
