Last year, with The Sacred Dying Foundation, we sent out a quick survey via email and social media.

We asked 2 questions – The first question prompted participants to rank a list of ‘priorities’ or ‘responsibilities’ based on what concerned them most when they thought about death. The second question collected the participants’ ages.  One hundred people participated in the survey. We posted the survey on social media with the  www.getfeedback.com mobile survey tool.

Here’s a graph depicting how many times each of the 7 options were ranked 1st, 2nd or 3rd by participants, when asked:  “What concerns you most when you think about death?”

Here is the information on the ages of our participants.
