We ran this workshop in 2024 and it was hugely popular, so we're bringing it back for 2025.

Death Without Debt is a national organisation campaigning and educating on funeral debt 'dedicated to creating a future where the cost of dying doesn't add to the burden of grief'. And where 'everyone in New Zealand has the right to an affordable and dignified funeral process.'

WORKSHOPS COVER:

Funeral planning, wills, Enduring Power of Attorney, Advanced Care Plans, probate
After-death paperwork requirements and avoiding professional service fees
Care and transport of the body
When you need a coffin and when you don’t.
The pros and cons of cremation vs burial. Alternative and environmental technologies.
The politics and history of funerals
Community initiatives and collective action for funeral reform
And much more . . .

These workshops are usually $40 per person, but RECAP is subsidising this to make it more accessible. Thank you to our varied funders who make this possible. 

The cost for the Ashhurst workshop is $10 waged and $5 unwaged. Registrations are essential and can be made HERE

Hot drinks and snacks served. BYO lunch.

Presenters: Suzanne Chellius, Rachel Rose and Melissa Hemi.
