End of Life Planner

Gone But Still Telling You What to Do | A Funny Handy Guide for Your Loved Ones to Sort Out the Chaos After You’re Gone

A practical place to gather the information your loved ones may one day need, without turning the process into something cold or gloomy. Organize contacts, accounts, documents, wishes, memories, and final details with clear prompts, useful structure, and enough humor to make a difficult subject easier to approach.

People and pets

Family, friends, emergency contacts and who takes the animals.

Medical and wishes

Doctors, history, funeral and resting arrangements.

Accounts and bills

Bank, cards, insurance, utilities and what renews each year.

Documents and access

Where the papers are, plus logins and security questions.

The planner open at the page that says In The Event Of My Death, with a hand filling in the name.
What’s inside

Clear information is a form of care.

The planner is organized by section: personal and family details, contacts and professionals, bank accounts, insurance and subscriptions, property and documents, online accounts and logins, medical wishes, funeral preferences and final arrangements. Every page is a prompt rather than a blank sheet, so it can be filled in twenty minutes at a time instead of in one difficult afternoon. Available as a downloadable PDF and as a paperback you can write in and keep with your documents.

Nobody is left guessing

The information people need stops depending on memory, scattered folders and “they will figure it out.”

Room for more than account numbers

There are pages for letters, gratitude and apologies, alongside the practical ones.

A prompt on every page

You are answering questions, not facing a blank sheet, so twenty minutes is enough to make progress.

It does not read like a legal form

Every page opens with a line of dry humour, which is why people who start it tend to finish it.
