Last Orders — eBook

From $11.99

We plan our weddings and birthdays — so why not our final farewell?

Last Orders is your guide to navigating the complicated maze of dying — while you’re still very much alive.

What kind of send-off would you like? Buried, cremated, or tossed out to sea? Beatles or Rolling Stones classics at the party? Who’s footing the bill? And, where’s your will?

Part memoir, part practical handbook, Last Orders was born from Kathie Shearer’s extraordinary life journey, delivered with her signature candour, cheek and rare vulnerability.

Think of it as taking the reins of your destiny and planning your exit on your terms, while giving your loved ones the greatest gift of all — peace of mind. It's your life (and death) after all, and what you do about this is entirely up to you.

Last Orders is a practical, heartfelt and surprisingly uplifting companion for anyone wanting to live fully and leave thoughtfully.
