About
We make one thing: the file your family can find.
We publish workbooks. We are not a funeral home, cemetery, law firm, hospice, or church. What we sell is a place to write it down before someone else has to guess.
Why a workbook
Software asks you to trust an account that outlives nobody. A workbook sits in a drawer, and the person who needs it does not have to remember a password to open it. Paper is the format that survives the first 72 hours.
What we will not do
What we are
End of Life Planning Guide publishes four workbooks: a twelve-section planning binder, and three that go deeper on funerals, cemetery plots, and caring for a living parent.
They are PDFs. You buy one once and download it. There is no account, no subscription, and no login to lose.
What we are not
We are not a funeral home, a cemetery, a law firm, a hospice, or a church. We do not sell insurance, prepaid funeral plans, or cemetery property. We do not take a commission from anyone who does.
We do not give legal, tax, financial, or funeral advice, and nothing we publish is a substitute for it.
Why the workbooks look plain
Because they get filled in by hand, photocopied, and read under fluorescent light by someone who is tired and in a hurry. Plain paper, wide margins, and one question per line survive that. Decoration does not.
How we make money
We sell the workbooks. That is the only way. We do not run ads, we do not sell or rent email addresses, and we are not paid to recommend any funeral home, cemetery, attorney, or insurer.
Where the facts come from
Every factual sentence in a workbook traces to a named source: the FTC Funeral Rule as published in the Code of Federal Regulations, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the CDC's vital records directory, the National Institute on Aging, the Uniform Law Commission, and named state statutes.
If a rule differs by state, we say so and tell you who to ask, rather than printing a national answer that is wrong in your state. Where no authoritative number exists, the price of a direct cremation is the clearest example, we say that too, and give you the question to ask instead.
Corrections
If something we published is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and note the change. Contact.
The work is not complicated. Postponing is how the decisions get made for you.
Organization and education, not legal or funeral advice. Rules differ by state and by property.
