A world-first online survey is being presented as a chance to analyse how society treats those with limited time.

Over 40,000 people die in New Zealand each year, with close to 90 percent often taking months or years.

Hospice's Dying Reviews let respondents reflect and share their experience of a terminal illness.

Hospice NZ CEO Wayne Naylor says they hope to shine a light on the experience of dying in New Zealand. 

"What we want to know is - are businesses making it easy? Are organisations making it difficult? Are there millions of forms to fill in just because you're dying?"
