The Lancet Commission on the Value of Death
We are working to build a world where death, dying and bereavement are recognised and valued as an integral part of life, and everyone has the opportunity to die and grieve well.
Our work
This work is informed by the principles of the Realistic Utopia
The social and structural determinants of death, dying, and grieving are tackled
Dying is understood to be a relational and spiritual process rather than simply a physiological event
Networks of care lead support for people dying, caring, and grieving
Conversations and stories about everyday death, dying, and grief become common
Death is recognised as having value
