About This Event

The event "What Matters to You - Who Owns Your Body?" will take place on 8 November 2026 at McGowan's Crematorium and Funeral Home in Sligo. This community-focused gathering aims to promote discussions around Advance Healthcare Directives and the importance of communicating end-of-life preferences to next of kin. Various speakers will contribute to this important conversation, highlighting why these decisions are vital for both individuals and their families. Attendance is free.

Does your Next of Kin know what you want? Getting your Advance Healthcare Directive done matters more than you think.

What Matters to You?

Join us in person for a practical session with End of Life Ireland's legal expert Justin McKenna to understand what the Advance Healthcare Directive is and why, as well as your Will and Enduring Power of Attorney, it matters.

We know Everything Begins with a Conversation and how hard sometimes it is to begin to talk about what we want for ourselves even though we know making sure our wishes are recorded really is a gift for our next of kin. Being prepared means making it easier for whoever you choose to represent you, if they need to make healthcare and financial decisions on your behalf.

Legislation for Assisted Dying So you are properly informed as to where Ireland is at, EOLI's Janie Lazar will give you an update.

As for what type of funeral you can have.. Local Funeral Director David McGowan, known to many will be on hand to answer any questions as this session concludes with a tour of this beautiful and very peaceful funeral home and crematorium at Collooney,

Our thanks go to David and his team for allowing End of Life Ireland, in collaboration with North West Humanists to hold this event, after which conversations will continue in the town itself. Venue to be confirmed on the day.
