Dying Matters Week – Manawatū | 7-13 September 2026

Let’s talk about death, dying, grief and legacy.

Dying Matters Week is back in the Manawatū, with a week of positive, practical and meaningful community events designed to help us have conversations about things that affect us all.

This year’s theme is “Shaping Your Legacy”, encouraging us to think about what we want to leave behind — not just financially or materially, but through our stories, values, relationships and the things that matter to us.

There are events and activities happening throughout the week, with something for different ages and interests.

Everyone is welcome. Come along, learn something new, ask questions, start a conversation — and perhaps leave with a few things ticked off your “one day” list.
