A death doula (also known as an end-of-life doula or death midwife) is a nonclinical support person who helps individuals and their families through the dying process. 

Services can include emotional support, education about the dying process, advocacy with healthcare teams, coordination of care and community resources, and bereavement follow-up. Death doulas focus on comfort, dignity, and personalized support rather than medical tasks; training and roles vary by practitioner and region.
