"She filled it in over a cup of tea one afternoon. She said it felt like writing a love letter to us."

— James, 38, Manchester

The reality

Most families are left guessing.

When someone we love dies, we face an avalanche of decisions — often with no idea what they would have wanted. It's not a failure of love. It's a failure of conversation. The Good Bye changes that.

How it works

Simple steps.
Lasting comfort.

We guide you gently through everything — from practical details to the personal things only you can say. No legal jargon. No overwhelm. Just the right questions, asked kindly.

Tell us your wishes

Guided prompts make it easy to capture what matters most — from funeral preferences to the songs you love, the people to call, and the things you've always wanted to say but never found the right moment.

Add the practical things

Store important documents, account details, and key contacts in one place — so your family isn't searching through drawers in the hardest moments of their lives.

Share with the people you love

Invite trusted family members or friends to access your plan. They'll know exactly what to do — and exactly what you wanted. You control who sees what, and when.

Update as life changes

Your wishes evolve. Return whenever you need to — every update is timestamped and shared automatically with the people you've chosen.

What you capture

Everything they'll
need to know.

The Good Bye covers every dimension of end of life planning — the practical and the personal. You decide how much to share and with whom.

Funeral wishes

Burial or cremation, ceremony style, music, flowers, readings — documented exactly as you want.

Letters to loved ones

Say the things you've always meant to say. Letters delivered to the right people at the right time.

Practical documents

Will location, bank accounts, insurance policies, digital accounts — all in one place.

Belongings & keepsakes

Who gets what. Record the stories behind your belongings so nothing important is left to chance.

The conversation guide

Not ready to talk about it? We give you the scripts, prompts and gentle nudges to start the conversation.

Care & medical wishes

Advance care preferences, power of attorney, and who to call — so medical teams know your wishes.

Why it matters

The conversations
that change everything.

When Dad died suddenly, we had no idea what he wanted. The guilt of guessing stayed with us for years. I wish we'd had something like this.

— Sarah, 42, London

My mum filled hers in over a cup of tea one afternoon. She said it felt like writing a love letter to us. Now we have it, and it means everything.

— James, 38, Manchester

I never thought I'd be the type to plan ahead. But doing this felt less like thinking about death and more like making sure the people I love are okay.
