The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning
Margareta Magnusson
Swedish death cleaning, or ‘Dostadning’, is the process whereby people in later life, and their families, get their affairs in order, both administratively and practically. Author Margareta Magnusson guides readers through practical ideas and tasks that can help to ensure that their later years are as calm and stress-free as possible. Whether it is organising paperwork and completing necessary ‘death admin’, sorting through possessions, decluttering or even downsizing, Magnusson emphasises the benefits of gentle death cleaning for both the person and those closest to them.
