End of Life Planning

An End of Life (EOL) Doula - also known as a ‘Death’ Doula - to distinguish this role from a ‘Birth’ Doula - is someone who provides non-medical support and advocacy services to a dying person, their families, and those close to them.

The best time to talk about our death is while we are still well - long before it is necessary; however, the first time one’s own mortality is considered is often the moment a life-limiting or terminal diagnosis is received.

NDAN is dedicated to providing you with clear, accessible information to support informed decision making about your funeral options. From coffins and transport to celebrants and body disposition, we aim to highlight a wide range of both traditional and contemporary approaches to end-of-life care and ceremony.

Advance care planning involves documenting the types of health care you may, or may not wish to receive, if you become seriously ill and/or are no longer able to communicate.
