At Windsor Funerals, we have walked alongside Auckland families during some of the most difficult days of their lives. If there is one thing we have seen time and again, it’s that when someone passes away without a will, it can create unnecessary stress, confusion, and tension for the people they love most.
That is why we are proud to announce our partnership with EveryWill, a values-driven organisation offering free online will services to New Zealanders.
Why a Will Matters
In our experience as funeral directors, the presence or absence of a will can significantly shape what happens next for a family.
When clear instructions are left behind, the practical side of loss becomes simpler. Loved ones know what was intended. Assets can be managed more smoothly. Decisions feel guided rather than guessed.
Without a will, even straightforward estates can become complicated. Families may need to navigate additional legal steps, experience delays in accessing funds, or face disagreements during an already fragile time.
We believe every adult should have a valid will in place, regardless of age or stage of life. It is one of the simplest ways to protect your family from avoidable stress.
Meet EveryWill
EveryWill is an online Australia-based company that provides free, legally valid wills. Their mission is simple: remove the barriers that often stop people from organising a will.
Their platform is designed to be straightforward, accessible, and legally compliant with New Zealand law, and in most cases, you can have your will written up within 10 minutes. This service is open to anyone, which means you do not need to be a Windsor Funerals client to access it.
We love EveryWill’s mission and approach. What stands out to us is their commitment to accessibility and integrity. They believe that putting a will in place should not be expensive, intimidating, or complicated, and they put people before profit. We’re in alignment with those same values, which makes this partnership a natural fit.
Why Windsor Funerals Is Partnering With EveryWill
As a funeral service, our role does not begin and end on the day of a funeral. We are deeply invested in helping families feel supported before, during, and after loss.
We often meet families who tell us they kept meaning to organise a will, but didn’t get one in place in time. We get it; life gets busy, conversations about death are uncomfortable and easy to postpone, the paperwork can feel overwhelming, and cost can be a barrier.
By partnering with EveryWill, we can now offer our community a simple, practical way to help them be prepared. If we can help even one family avoid unnecessary stress because a will was in place, then it is worthwhile.
Planning Ahead Is a Gift
We often speak about funeral pre-planning as a final gesture of love. The same is true of writing a will.
When your wishes are clearly documented, your family is free to focus on remembering you, supporting one another, and processing their grief. They are not left navigating uncertainty or making rushed decisions, and the process is often quicker too.
Taking the time to organise a will is a practical step, but it is also a deeply relational one. It says, “I have thought about you. I want to make this easier for you”.

If organising your will has been sitting on your to-do list, consider this your encouragement to take the next step.
