How we can
help you
end of life doula
DEAD GOOD takes a person-centred approach to end of life. Coming alongside you, family, friends, community groups, and medical teams to facilitate and hold space for the things that are important to you.
End of life can be swift, or steady, and for those with time to plan, we can help with admin, decluttering, advocating, funeral planning, listening, preparing memory boxes, hand-holding, even discreetly clearing that cupboard or phone App you’d rather no one saw. Whatever you want – from the weird to the wonderful, we’re here for it. And we’re very much here to help those around you, too –signposting helpful information and setting up grief networks for once you’ve gone.
End Of Life Doulas witness, walk with you, and help shape the ending you hope for.

Sometimes a conversation with someone who gets it is all you need. We offer DEAD GOOD death debriefing sessions, calls to walk you through what happens after someone has died, signpost funeral options, or be an impartial listening ear when you’re feeling angry, lost, or alone. We are not a counselling or therapy service, but we are rich wells of knowledge, experience, and strength in times of need. Drop us a note and we can talk.
Eulogies &
life stories
We’re trained writers with experience across national news titles and global fashion and lifestyle brands, who can help craft meaningful eulogies and services. We also come alongside people to discover, ghostwrite, edit, and publish precious life stories, often at the end of life, when words and legacy matter most. Reach out to find out more.
dead good workshops
None of us get through life without encountering death, bereavement or grief. Yet so few of us really understand the practical and emotional landscape that comes with it — from the importance of a Will, to the rituals that help us reflect and remember, to what the hell probate even is.
DEAD GOOD host lively, informative talks and workshops for businesses and brands — designed to build death literacy, spark honest conversations, and open up new ways of thinking.

know us
Hello, I’m Emily – Founder and Director of DEAD GOOD. I’m a published writer, ex semi-pro dancer, and former Creative Director of a global fashion brand. After years in Manchester, London, and LA, I now call Somerset home. I’m into festivals, cold water swimming, interiors, and big conversations about life’s messier stuff. Life throws many curve balls, but if we’re lucky, they teach us how to get comfortable with the uncomfortable — and that’s what DEAD GOOD is really about: facing the hard things head-on, with honesty, warmth, and a bit of humour when we can find it. It’s a space for real talk, real connection, and finding the good in the grit. I very much look forward to knowing you.
