Plans: The Heartbeat of Deathwishes

Plans: The Heartbeat of Deathwishes

If Deathwishes had a heartbeat, it would be Plans.

This is the core of everything we do—the section of the app where reflection turns into action, where care becomes clarity, and where love takes form in the decisions you leave behind. Planning for the end of life isn’t about doom and gloom. It’s about making sure the people you love aren’t left guessing when it matters most. It’s about putting your story into your own hands. And, honestly, it’s one of the most thoughtful things you’ll ever do.

Not Morbid—Just Smart

Let’s get real for a second:
100% of people die.
But over 67% leave their plans up to others—or worse, the state.
In just 10 minutes, you can be the exception.

Whether you’re 28 or 88, single or partnered, child-free or the matriarch of a sprawling family tree, you have deathwishes. We all do. And no, we don’t mean that in the dark or dramatic way—it’s just the truth. You probably have opinions about what kind of send-off you’d want (or not want), who should get the leather jacket you’ve had since college, or even what song should play as people raise a glass in your name.

Deathwishes transforms the uncertainty of end-of-life planning into an opportunity for connection, intention, and a little peace of mind. The Plans feature helps you start that journey—simply and meaningfully.

What’s Inside Plans

We’ve broken Plans down into four clear, approachable sections:

The Basics

“What everyone should think about before they die.”
These are the foundational questions—your body, your service, your reception, your documents. No legalese. Just clarity. It’s everything that makes your wishes known in a straightforward, accessible way.

Beyond the Basics

“All the things that will really help your loved ones out when it matters most.”
Where’s the deed? What’s your hospital preference? Who has Power of Attorney? This is where your big-picture support lives—helping the people you care about make informed, confident choices.

Pet Plans

“Every pet has unique needs. Organize the information others need to know in case you’re no longer around.”
Pets are family. This section is designed to make sure their lives aren’t disrupted by your absence. Food, vet info, weird sleeping habits—whatever they need to stay safe and loved.

My Legacy

“Your life in your own words.”
You are more than a list of documents. In this section, you share your values, your triumphs, your memories, and your final words of love. It’s the emotional soul of the app.

It’s Not Just About You. But It’s All About You.

Making these plans isn’t just an act of personal agency—it’s an act of care. Every preference you document, every item you assign, every story you choose to share removes a weight from your loved ones’ shoulders. When the time comes, they won’t be scrambling to answer impossible questions. They’ll have your guidance. Your clarity. Your voice.

That’s what Deathwishes is really about:
Transforming silence into clarity. Fear into connection. Chaos into calm.
