How to die gracefully

If a Windows User decides to kill a process or a separate Windows app calls Process.Kill(), is there any way that the process being killed can see what's going on before it dies? I have a Windows Service that uses some third party dlls which are a bit messy. If the application is improperly closed, all kinds of things start to go wrong, so I want to catch the Kill command and clean up before dying

Users should generally accept that if they kill a process, they do so at
their own risk. You can only tell them not to.

Windows services should not be killed, they should be stopped, and clean-up
should be done in the OnStop handler.
