What is a Death Doula?
Death Doulas, also sometimes referred to as End of Life Doulas, offer a wide range of guidance and support to anyone wanting to plan ahead or for people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and their loved ones. From guiding people through advance care planning to providing practical, emotional and spiritual support at the end of a person’s life.

Advance Planning
Are you or someone you know thinking about getting your affairs in order? Planning in advance makes a difficult time, easier for your loved ones, helping to guide them in the many decisions that will need to be made upon your death.

Mortal Companions Peer Space
A UK-based, virtual peer space for people who live and work close to death. A space for thoughtful conversation, resource sharing, collective reflection and connection with others who recognise the realities of engaging with death in their lives and work. A place where insight can be shared, ideas explored and experiences witnessed without pressure to solve or carry responsibility for one another; but a place where the weight does not have to be carried alone.
