The Last Word Podcast
Nastassia Jones, Co-Founder of the Last Hurrah Funerals and Comedian Jonathan Schuster invite a different legend each week to come and plan their final farewell. From location, tunes, and final disposition, each episode follows the trio scheming grand and often weirdly specific and personal funeral wishes. Nothing is off-limits here. The Last Word tosses hushed tunes and solemn discussions for lively, wrong-town chats that ultimately make conversations about death a touch less intimidating.

In our season finale, Rhys Mitchell joins us to plan his cherry-laden farewell after a dramatic lightning strike, a cozy composting, and a send-off full of laughter. Thanks for listening, laughing, and grieving with us. We’ll be back next season with more Last Words.
This week on The Last Word, Dave Quirk serves up a lovely little farewell in Bright—vegan snacks, nice yarns, and music that… well, let’s just say it’s a choice.
This week on The Last Word, Xander Allan plans a farewell with all the essentials: hors d'oeuvres, ham off the bone, good whisky, and his signature cowboy boots.
A send-off with flavour and flair. Just how he’d want it.
This week on The Last Word podcast: Oliver Coleman plans a farewell that’s part pilgrimage, part pagan pageant. After a 3-day hike to a mountain in the heavens, guests will be treated to a vegetarian medieval feast, a funeral pyre, and a full-bodied straddling of the living and spiritual realms.
This week on The Last Word with Nat Harris, we plan a funeral straight out of Days of Our Lives.
There’s a chandelier collapse, Cher straddles a coffin, and the dress code is: floor-length drama.

Strap in (or on), it’s a ride.

This week on The Last Word Podcast we catch up with comedian Zack Dyer, who’s planning to go out chill but swinging — literally. A peaceful farewell in full fighting stance, a see-through coffin, and more XXXX than a Queensland wake can handle. It’s laid-back, legendary, and lager-fuelled.
This week on The Last Word with Nastassia Jones and Jonathan Schuster: we plan Urvi Majumdar’s ultimate farewell—complete with a VR Cheaper Buy Miles experience, fancy eats, and just a sprinkle of psychedelics.
On this week’s The Last Word Podcast, Nastassia Jones and Jonathan Schuster welcome the wonderful Lewis Garnham to plan a farewell that’s part funeral, part beach party.

Hosted by Nastassia Jones and Jonathan Schuster, we dive headfirst into the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully morbid.
This week’s guest? The iconic Sarah ‘Thomo’ Thompson from Camp Cope – drummer, legend, and all-round music royalty. We plan her dream funeral in a stadium, crack a few Melbourne Bitters, and even squeeze in an episode of Neighbours.
Come for the laughs, stay for the chaos. New episode out now – link in bio. 💐⚰️�...
In this episode of The Last Word, hosts Nastassia Jones and Jonathan Schuster meet with Jackson Tozer.

Join us for a suitable fried farewell.
This week’s episode features the formidable Hannah Gould. We map out her epic three-day funeral hike, dive into the fascinating overlap of decomposition and feminism, and cover all the delightfully morbid essentials. You know—just the usual.
We sit with the legendary little grub, Ben Russell to plan his funeral.
