Don't Make Them Guess

A friend spent the days before her mother's funeral arguing with her brother about songs. They both had ideas but they were guessing about a woman who'd had firm opinions on absolutely everything.

That's how most of it gets decided. In about four days, by people working from what they can remember, about things nobody ever wrote down.

The digital edition gives you the complete funeral planning workbook as a downloadable PDF, so you can work through it at home, print it when you're ready and update it as your wishes change.

Part life story, part logistics.

More than just a funeral planner.

Its somewhere to write your story.

Your wishes, your words, your funeral.

Most funeral planning tools feel cold, legal, or overwhelming.

Some are aligned with specific funeral homes that lock you into a provider.

This one is designed to feel calm, respectful, and clear — so you or your loved one can make decisions without fear-based language or ticking boxes under pressure.

No countdowns.
No scare tactics.
No upsells mid-process.

This is not a legal document or a Will. Our recommendation is that everyone should have a Will, even if it's the basic one from the post office.

This is a detailed, guided workbook that covers all the big and small details needed to make end-of-life and funeral planning easy.

What is a funeral planning workbook?

The Funeral Planner helps you document your wishes, preferences and important information clearly for loved ones.

Is a funeral planning workbook legally binding?

No. The workbook is designed to help communicate your wishes clearly and reduce uncertainty for family and friends.

Is this workbook the same as a will?

No. The Funeral Planner is designed to help document your wishes, preferences and important information for loved ones, but it is not a legal will or substitute for one. We still recommend having an up-to-date legally valid will in place.

Anyone wanting to document their preferences and make future decisions easier for loved ones.

Can I complete the workbook digitally?

Not yet. The workbook is delivered as a digital download to be printed and completed by hand. Digital and bound versions are coming soon.

Is funeral planning only for older people?

No. Many people choose to document their wishes earlier so family members aren’t left making difficult decisions later.
