The Natural Death Centre is an educational charity based in London which has three psychotherapists as its directors. Launched in 1991, it aims to support those dying at home and their carers and to help them arrange funerals. It has a more general aim of helping to improve 'the quality of dying' and, to this end, it arranges workshops on the subject for laypeople, seminars for nurses and doctors training in palliative care, and publishes information in written form and on the internet. It also organises the National Day of the Dead (Sunday April 13 2003 and Sunday April 18 2004) to remember those who have died and focus on our own mortality.
