Join Emily (Content & Community Executive) and Tamsin (Head of Funerals) at Aura on Thursday 27 August 2026, 11:00 AM · 40 minutes.

What to expect during the webinar
Join an honest conversation between two people who’ve spoken to hundreds of families about exactly this. A relaxed look at the moments that come up again and again, and practical ways through them.
Here’s what we’ll talk about:
- Starting a side-by-side conversation, rather than a big sit-down
- What to do when family members react differently to each other, or in unexpected ways
- How to know when the time is actually right
Expect live polls and open discussion as we go, and time for your questions throughout.
Can’t make the date? Register anyway and we’ll send you the recording.

-
