About Partida Final
A free, non-profit guide to help families in Portugal after the loss of a loved one.
Our mission
Losing someone is one of the most difficult experiences in life. On top of the emotional pain, families face a complex web of bureaucratic procedures, legal requirements, and financial decisions that need to be handled during a time when they are least able to cope.
Partida Final was created to provide clear, practical, and free guidance to families in Portugal navigating this difficult period. Our goal is to make the process less overwhelming by providing step-by-step guides, useful tools, and emotional support resources, all in one place.
