About Us
We are here to support people when someone dies. We give clear information, so people know their choices and rights. With our guidance, people can look after themselves and feel more confident about what to do after someone’s last breath.
Our founders wanted to support people to stay close to the person who has died, in a place that feels right for them, and to be involved in arranging their burial or cremation. Listen to the founders here.
Our Mission
- giving people clear information about what can happen between a person’s death and their funeral,
- talking with people about how they want to be involved, and giving practical help,
- helping people understand why the first three days after someone dies are important, and
- building a group of volunteers to help with this work.
Our Charity
