Make end of life, part of life

In a 2019 study, 55% of families felt their loved one had a “bad death.” By igniting a movement to spark conversations and ask the right questions, we create opportunities for the things people most want – including spending time with those they love, dignity, and the autonomy to make their own decisions.

By donating today, you support the critical work we do to change the culture around the end of life.
