Welcome to Dying Matters Week Otago

Queenstown Community Hospice is bringing Dying Matters Week 2025 to Queenstown for the first time in 2025. Unfortunately, due to unavoidable circumstances, we are unable to hold events in Oamaru this year.

Dying Matters Week connects people across Aotearoa to start conversations in a safe space, learn from local experts and seek support to get affairs in order and navigate grief or loss.

Join us from Monday 1st to Sunday 7th September at local libraries and other community spaces around New Zealand. The programme includes: hands-on workshops and presentations from experts in end-of-life, grief and death-care, resources and information from local businesses, curated collections of books on grief and dying, online events and podcasts, art and theatre, poetry and storytelling, Death Cafes and panel discussions.

2025 Queenstown Programme coming soon!
