Your Vigil

As a Death Doula, I work with people who want to approach their death in a way that reflects who they are and the life they’ve lived.

Vigil planning involves clearly stating what is most important to you as you near the end of life. This might include the music, people, and customs or activities you want to happen before and after you death. You might want calming music (or heavy metal), the smell of flowers (or pizza). The choices are yours; but the process doesn’t have to be exhausting.

I also work with people who want to educate themselves about the death process and understand what they can do to prepare for the final days of their own, or a loved one’s, life. This includes understanding the stages of dying, the practicalities you may need to prepare for, and the options for the hours after death.

Working alongside you, we work together to clarify what is important to you. I create resources for your loved ones to ensure to ensure they have the information they need and understand your wishes.

Vigil planning can be as involved as you like and the more time we have to work together, the more detailed a plan can be. However, it does take at least 1 or 2 x 50 minute sessions, creation of an easy to follow plan, and a short handover session. Please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to learn more.

Starting from:

Vigil planning (1 x 50 min session + handover session) = $200

Vigil planning (2 x 50 min session + handover session) = $300

Note vigil planning services do not involve legal advice.
