Go With Grace is here to support you to thoughtfully prepare for ageing and later life. Taking time to plan ahead helps you and your loved ones have meaningful conversations early, reducing uncertainty and stress when important decisions need to be made.
End-of-life planning means thinking about, and putting in place the essential documents and arrangements that reflect your wishes and values. These may include your Advance Care Plan, Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, your Go With Grace Plan, and access to ageing care support services. Together, these elements form a roadmap that guides others to act in your best interests and honour your choices.
Explore topics such as financial planning, legal planning, living arrangements, and future care needs so you can plan with confidence and clarity.

What is a Go With Grace Plan?
The Go With Grace Plan sits alongside and supports documents such as your Will, Advance Care Plan and Power of Attorney, covering other important aspects of planning such as information for the death certificate, farewell planning, your reasoning behind choices such as organ donation, cremation/burial, how you want to be remembered and death admin.
Give your family comfort and peace of mind that they are respecting and honouring your final wishes. We understand that all the decisions that need to be made when somebody passes can be stressful and exhausting. Sadly, this takes people away from the precious little time they have with their loved ones. We want to support people to record their wishes and ideas before they die, to make this process a little easier for their family and to give families peace of mind that they are honouring their loved one’s wishes.
When somebody dies there are many, many decisions to be made. Even if you have a small farewell, this is still a choice that needs to be made. If we aren’t involved in our own end-of-life planning, our family and whānau are left to make all these decisions on our behalf, which can be incredibly stressful, especially if there are differing opinions among family.
