Frequently Asked Questions about End-of-Life Guides

An end-of-life guide helps individuals and families prepare for death — facilitating conversations about values and wishes, documenting advance directives, educating families about the dying process, and providing support through the transition. They bridge the gap between medical care and emotional preparation.

There is significant overlap. Both provide non-medical support around death. End-of-life guides often focus more on planning, documentation, and family preparation, while death doulas may provide more hands-on vigil and bedside presence. Many professionals offer both.

Ideally before a crisis — when a terminal diagnosis is received or when an aging adult wants to document their wishes. Guides are also called in during the final weeks and days to support families who haven't had the chance to plan ahead.

An advance directive is a legal document that records a person's wishes for medical care if they become unable to communicate them — including preferences around resuscitation, life support, and end-of-life care. An end-of-life guide can help you understand your options and complete these documents correctly.

Fees vary by scope and provider. Some guides charge hourly, others offer packages for a defined period of support. Most listed on Autumn offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation and determine the right level of support.
