How did you come up with the name?
Too often we find conversations and information about death hidden from public view and rearly do we see the word death appear in the public space in relation to end of life care.

PCQ asked people what they wanted?
Their response: “Information”
PCQ asked people how they wanted it delivered?
Their response “openly, honestly and in a friendly environment
And many added “make it fun… death is a part of life”

Where did the logo come from?
