One of the comments we hear often is that dying is expensive, and most families are not prepared. When families are unable to prepare for these expenses, it can leave them in hardship or deciding whether or not to claim cremains.  As of 2025, approximately 2 million unclaimed remains are located in funeral homes throughout the United States.   

 

By offering Funeral Trusts, we can help you lock in the funds your family/friends need to afford a proper funeral.  Additionally, you can appoint almost anyone to be in charge of these wishes, family, friends, a funeral home, or another entity. 

What expenses can this be used on? 

Casket, vault, urn, cemetery plot

Cremation Arrangements and Embalming

Funeral Space, Flowers, Meal for Guests

Obituary and death certificate fees

Transportation and Officiant Fees

Headstone

All items required for a successful burial (think clothing, photos, video presentation, etc.)

Trusting Others

Obituary Writeups

Services Range $250-750

A carefully crafted obituary is more than just an announcement—it's a lasting tribute that honors a person’s life, values, and legacy.

Our obituary write-up service provides families with a thoughtful, dignified, and professionally written announcement of their loved one’s passing. Each piece is tailored with care and respect, capturing the unique story, accomplishments, and spirit of the deceased.

These write-ups are suitable for submission to newspapers, online memorial sites, funeral programs, and social media. We can deliver the completed obituary directly to the family, funeral home, or publishing outlet upon request.

Whether you prefer a simple announcement or a full-length life story, we offer options to meet a range of needs and preferences.

Includes:

  • Consultation with family or representative

  • Draft and one round of revisions

  • Delivery in a format suitable for publishing

Let us help tell their story with grace, warmth, and dignity.

Personalized Obituary Experiences 

Services Ranging $450-750 (Includes optional life reflection coaching and customized revisions)

Unlike traditional obituaries written after a person’s passing, our Personalized Obituary Experiences are created while you are still living—allowing you to shape how your life story is told.

Whether you are nearing the end of life or simply want to ensure your legacy is captured on your terms, this service helps ease the burden on loved ones and allows you to highlight what matters most.

But these experiences go beyond legacy—they are also transformational.

Many individuals choose to write their obituary as a reflective exercise. The process often leads to powerful insights about identity, purpose, and change. By exploring how you want to be remembered, you may discover who you truly are—and who you want to become. For some, it’s a turning point. A way to begin again.

This service includes:

  • A personalized interview and/or questionnaire

  • A professionally written life story draft

  • Two rounds of revisions

  • Optional life coaching or reflection sessions

  • Final delivery in both print and digital formats

Whether for end-of-life planning or personal growth, this is a meaningful experience that honors both who you are—and who you're becoming.

Letters to Loved Ones is a personalized service that helps you express your thoughts, feelings, and memories through beautifully handwritten letters. Each letter is crafted with care, compassion, and complete confidentiality.*
