DyingMatters NZ

Dying Matters is a New Zealand end-of-life planning and support service helping people make informed choices about dying and share them with loved ones and medical teams. Its approach is grounded in the belief that people should be able to shape an end-of-life experience that feels right for them. Through MyDyingPlan, individuals can record and communicate their medical and personal preferences, helping reduce the burden of difficult decisions on family members.

MyOnePlace offers a way to gather important information and documents so someone trusted can manage everyday affairs if a person becomes incapacitated or help close their estate after death. MyDeathDoula provides education, emotional support and calm guidance from a trained, non-medical companion for individuals and families navigating the dying process. The service also aims to offer practical and spiritual care, helping make the experience more intentional and meaningful.

Founded by Deborah and Joanne, whose personal experiences with loss inspired their work, Dying Matters provides planning forms and guidance, but is not a law firm and does not offer legal advice
