How do you want to die?
Death is too often a scary, chaotic and isolating event.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
A Thoughtful Death aims to change modern death culture by helping people celebrate their unique lives in ways that lead to thoughtful death experiences and meaningful grief rituals. By being honest about what’s important to us, planning ahead and tapping into community, we can nurture deaths that better reflect our values.
Let’s set the scene for a death that honors who you are.
A Thoughtful Death is humbled to be a 2024 Intentionalist Awards finalist! I’m grateful for this affirmation of how important cultural deathcare is 🧡

Talofa lava! My name is Neshia.
As an end-of-life consultant, I support and educate people who are at all stages of dying. Whether you are planning ahead to get your affairs in order, are facing an imminent death or are grieving, deathcare is for you. You don’t have to do this alone.
People ask me all the time why I choose to work with death and grief. The answer is this: from a young age, I knew that I and the people I love will die. I want the dying, the ultimate transition, to be as special as the relationships themselves.
Deathcare is for everyone at every stage of life.

Obituaries & Eulogies
Breathing, let alone finding the right words to describe someone, can feel impossible after a recent death. Let me do the writing so that you can catch your breath.

Celebrations & Ceremonies
Do you want one final hurrah with your favorite people before you die? A memorial for a community member? A special ritual to mark the anniversary of a death? This is a great opportunity to honor your life and culture.
