What's Inside
What to do in the first hour
Who to call, what to say, and what to do physically. The first 60 minutes set the tone for everything that follows.
Who to contact first
The right order matters. Doctors, funeral directors, family, employers, and authorities — there's a proper sequence that makes the next week far easier.
What can wait
Just as important as what to do is what not to do. Bank accounts, bills, Centrelink, probate — most of it can and should wait. This tells you what can sit for a few days without consequences.
The critical mistakes
The decisions made in the first 48 hours that create real problems months later. Most are completely avoidable — if you know they exist.
Who This Is For
You're dealing with a loss right now
You need clarity fast, and you don't have time to read a book. This checklist gives you the next step, right now, with no fluff.
You're preparing for the worst
Someone you love is at the end of their life, and you want to know what's coming so you're not caught flat-footed when the moment arrives.
You're an executor or next-of-kin
You've been named, or you're the one who'll be called. Having this checklist saved means you'll have something to grab when everything else is chaos.
Who made this
I'm Will. I'm not a lawyer or a funeral director. I'm someone who watched two families try to navigate the first few days after a loss, and realised how badly they needed someone to tell them what to do next.
I built this checklist so the next family has somewhere to start.
