What is an end of life planner?
Let’s start with the basics. What is it?
An end of life planner is a binder that keeps all your crucial information and final wishes in one place. The perfect product for my fellow organizational queens and control freaks.
Why should I have an end of life planner?
There are a plethora (yes, I’ve been using this word in every article – It’s my new favorite English word lol) of benefits to owning one:
- A peace of mind
- An organized life
- All your information is stored in a single place
- It will make a hard time easier for your family
- It’s a place to document your final wishes
- You can leave letters to your loved ones
What is in my end of life planner?
I designed a thorough end of life planner that’s affordable and multi-faceted. It was meticulously crafted with YOUR needs in mind.
You will find a lot of planners that are 100+ pages, however, that’s a lot of printing – have you seen the prices of ink (at least in my country)? So, I narrowed it down to about 60 pages for your convenience.
My planner has many features but I want to share the contents with you before we get to the specs.
1. Personal Information
The first category holds ALL your personal information in only 4 pages.
These include:
- Personal details
- Employment information
- Marital status and details
- Child information – includes possible medical conditions, guardianship, and school information, etc
- Pet details – include guardianship, dietary needs, temperament, feeding, and health details, etc
- Emergency contacts
2. Medical Information
Summarize all your medical details in 7 pages.
These include:
- Preferred health professionals – primary physician, hospital, and specialists
- Your personal medical history – conditions, surgeries, and allergies
- Vaccination records – Childhood, adult, travel, and seasonal vaccinations as well as booster shots
- Family medical history
- Health insurance details
- DNR order (if applicable)
- Organ donation information (if applicable)
- Documents locations – physical and digital copies
3. Financial + Insurance Information
This is the most extensive category resulting in a whopping 14 pages!
These include:
- Bank accounts and online banking details
- Investments
- Retirement information
- Credit cards
- Debt/loans
- Life insurance
- Home insurance
- Vehicle insurance
- Income report
- Expenses report
- Subscriptions/memberships
- Utilities

4. Assets
Assets consist of 4 pages in my end of life planner.
These include:
- Real estate
- Vehicles
- Valuables
- Warranties
5. Digital Footprint
These 4 pages keep your passwords in one place. There is also a space for notes so you can inform your family what to do with these accounts in the case of unforeseen circumstances.
These include:
- Social media
- Subscriptions
- Email accounts
- Online accounts
6. Relationships
3 Pages with the contact details of your relationships – you are more than welcome to print more pages if you run out of space.
These include:
- Family
- Friends
- Professional relationships
7. The Document Finder
The document finder is a single page that keeps the location of all your physical and digital documents. There’s also a checkbox for you to mark if you attached copies of said documents to the end of life planner.
8. End Of Life Wishes
These 8 pages will inform your family of your last wishes. It’s also a place to leave letters to your loved ones.
These pages include:
- Funeral details
- Service arrangements – includes church name, preferred clergy, scripture, and music

- Burial instructions
- Cremation information
- Pallbearers
- Reception details

9. Notes
I included 3 note pages – a solid lined, dotted lined, and grid page.
