Death Defined with Matt Kwoka

Taking the taboo away from talking about death.

26/07/2026

"Talking about death won't kill you... but avoiding the conversation might leave your family standing around one day saying, 'Did Dad want AC/DC or Andrea Bocelli at his funeral?

Honestly, that's the situation we find ourselves in all the time.

We avoid the conversation because we think we have plenty of time, but all we're really doing is leaving our loved ones to guess.

And trust me, guessing isn't a gift.

A five-minute conversation today can save your family a whole lot of uncertainty tomorrow.

Would you rather have a traditional burial, cremation, or something more unique—like becoming a tree, part of a coral reef, or even launched into space?

What do people really think about death?

A recent survey commissioned by Southern Cross Funerals questioned Australians about death, dying and the funeral industry in order to establish our views. This is what they said...

"Talking about death isn't giving up on life, it's choosing to live it with greater intention."

It's a question we don't ask ourselves often enough.

How do you want people to describe you when you're not in the room?

What stories do you hope your family will tell about you years from now?

Maybe it has nothing to do with achievements, money or milestones.

Maybe it's much simpler than that.

❤️ That you were kind.

😂 That you made people laugh.

🤝 That you always showed up.

🏡 That you made people feel safe.

The truth is, thinking about our legacy isn't about focusing on death.

It's about focusing on life.

Because when we stop avoiding these conversations, we often start living more intentionally.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is ask ourselves the question today, rather than waiting until someday.

💬 If someone you love had to describe you in one sentence, what would you hope they'd say?

Conversations about the end of life can feel uncomfortable, but they can also be some of the most meaningful we ever have.

When we talk openly about our wishes, values, and what matters most, we create space for deeper connections, greater peace of mind, and the opportunity to live each day with purpose—not fear.
Because planning ahead isn't about expecting the worst. It's about making the most of the time we have and ensuring our loved ones understand what matters most to us.

What does living with intention mean to you? Matt x

We've all spent more time choosing a Netflix show than discussing our final wishes... and somehow that feels completely normal. 😅

Burial or cremation isn't a conversation that needs to wait until a crisis.

In fact, having this discussion earlier can be one of the greatest gifts you give your loved ones.

There isn't a right or wrong answer, only what feels right for you.

Your choice might be influenced by:

Personal values
Cultural or religious beliefs
Environmental considerations
Family traditions

💭 Simply what feels most like you

The reality is, many families are left wondering, ""What would Mum have wanted?"" or "Did Dad ever mention this?""

A simple conversation today can remove uncertainty tomorrow.

You don't have to make every decision all at once.

Just start with one question.

Have you ever spoken to your family about whether you'd prefer burial or cremation?
