Most Kiwis Are Lousy When It Comes To Talking About Death

“If a luke warm cup of tea and a nice scone is not the way you want your glorious life to be remembered, you might be interested in a new kiwi initiative – goodgrace.co

"Most Kiwis are lousy when it comes to talking about death, yet when we do, it's usually easier than we thought it would be " says Jude Mannion of the recently launched goodgrace website .

Mannion says if you think you're not lousy, prove it by answering these 7 short questions http://www.goodgrace.co/survey/

"What I see if get a group of women talking about their final ceremony, is that all of a sudden they're planning another wedding..the venue, the music, the food, the flowers, the entertainment, the take-home mementos. And then there's that say 'yes' immediately to having their ashes turned into a diamond, being carved into a Peter Collis ceramic Maori Waka or a beautiful Gary Nash glass sculpture.

Why not be creative, and have our ashes used in love ones tattoos, scattered from 3000ft or across the oceans? And why be hidden away in box when you could draped in a beautiful shroud?

Is this vanity around our own death process ? Well if a little narcissism occurs around how you leave those you love behind, isn't it better to let them know what you want and that you had in some way comes to terms with dying ?

Mannion says she will write her own order of service, select her photo's, gift her organs, confirm her will and her Advanced Care plan and then think carefully about her legacy to charity. You can do it all for free in a secure Lockbox at www.goodgrace.co
