Everything your family needs,
It's natural for families to feel lost when scrambling to plan a funeral.
Your family may have no idea of the exact way you’d like your life to be celebrated. There are so many things to consider and guessing can be stressful on your already grieving family hoping they get it right.
On top of that, there’s admin information they’ll need to scramble through drawers and files to compile.
A Last Writes journal keeps everything your family needs in one beautiful hardback book. Your family can refer to it as a guide after you’ve gone and read your life stories for generations to come.

“I’ve got this book and highly recommend it. It starts with what could be an awkward conversation but the book helped make it uplifting. It’s an inspirational tool... I will be buying lots of copies for whanau and friends.”
Co-creators Penny Macdonald and Rebecca Zwitser
“It was unbelievably helpful”
Before my wonderful mum died, she wrote in a little notebook which she rather flippantly called her ‘death book.’ It was clearly something she’d been picking up and putting down over months, if not years and it tackled things that might have otherwise been quite awkward to discuss. This precious book became a guide, gave us insights into how she saw her legacy, precise funeral directions, and some laughs along the way.
Mum’s notebook inspired the creation of Last Writes. We want everyone to feel the peace and connection I did by ‘knowing’ instead of ‘hoping’ we sent her off the way she wished. Penny
Everything your family needs, in one place.
Last Writes was designed to help replace your family’s guesswork and stress with clarity and peace when you’re not there to help them.
Funeral Plans - Get as specific as you’d like. What does your send-off look like? Make sure your family ‘know’ instead of ‘hope’ they got it right.
Logistics - Who do you trust to sort out the nuts and bolts of your banking, investments or pets?
Legacy - Write notes or a novel. Share elements of your life to help people understand, remember and reflect on.
“Not everyone is reflective; however, Last Writes could be well used by many in differing situations. This would be a very non-threatening way to approach this subject with someone who may well be hesitant in the first instance. ”
