Death can be an uncomfortable topic to discuss, especially thinking about our own passing. However, it is a really important kaupapa/topic to kōrero/talk about with the people you care about.
We've created some resources to support you to plan for your own tangi/funeral - the content includes some tips to talk with your whānau and to start making a plan, as well as some things we think may be important for you and your whānau to consider, research and discuss together.
We have a PDF available with some prompts to think about and discuss, and additional space to record a funeral plan and other important information.
