A free checklist to help you sort the practical things, one manageable step at a time.

Most of us know, somewhere in the back of our minds, that there are things worth sorting: important documents, funeral wishes, who to tell and when. Knowing where to start is usually the hardest part, and it’s not always easy to find the time or the words.

That’s why we created our free End-of-Life Planning Checklist, a simple guide from Aura that brings all of it together in one place.

A shortened version: this post is a quick look at what’s inside. The full checklist walks through each area in more detail, with space to note what’s done and what’s still to do.

There’s no single right place to start, but the checklist covers eight areas that tend to matter most:

Key documents

Organising key documents, from your will to your passport and property deeds, and making sure someone knows where to find them.

Who can act for you

Planning for diminished capacity, including a Lasting Power of Attorney, so someone you trust can act for you if you’re ever unable to.

Body donation

Considering organ or body donation, and letting your family know your wishes either way.

Digital legacy

Organising your digital legacy: the accounts, subscriptions and photos most of us build up online over time.

Financial planning

Preparing your finances, so accounts, pensions and policies are somewhere a trusted person can find them.

Funeral preferences

Setting out your funeral preferences, however simple or detailed you’d like them to be.

Important conversations

Having the important conversations with the people close to you, so nobody is left guessing.

Support

Knowing where to turn for support, whether that’s a solicitor, a befriending service, or simply someone to talk it through with.

This is just a glimpse of what’s inside our free End-of-Life Planning Checklist. Like everything we do at Aura, it’s built around the same family-run approach: practical help, at your own pace, without pressure.
