About Us
We are on a mission to improve the quality of all our lives by changing the way the world thinks about death.
Our story begins in 2020 after a sudden cancer diagnosis. Even though we had always acknowledged death is part of life, we were not prepared for its abrupt possibility of it in our own. We quickly realized a last will & testament, important parts of end-of-life planning, do not complete a legacy. There is so much more we could do to memorialize our extraordinary lives. This sounds like an easy problem to solve, but how?
With no direct solution available we were inspired into action & formed a compassionate team of two software engineers, a sales executive, and an advanced practice nurse. Together, we developed an affordable end-of-life planning technology based in clinical research, to help people sick or healthy capture and preserve their legacy through storytelling, gaining appreciation and acceptance of who they are and the life they are living.
As founders with our own history of loss and death, we consider it a privilege to help everyone plan for a good death through legacy building. That’s why we founded MyLivingObituary.com- to improve the quality of all our lives by helping people take control of life’s final act. This way extraordinary and meaningful lives will not fade away but will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone who is loved.
