Education from experts: you

Your communities are looking for funeral guidance, but they'll likely find inaccurate information online. Educate online families about the importance of funeral services.

More than packages

Forget fitting into three packages that cause more questions than answers. There are no limitations to the services families can select online.

Burial and Cremation

Online families are looking for more than a discount cremation brand. Offer all of your services in-person and online without decreasing ARPC.

Innovative Care at Every Step

Empower every director to provide the best care possible and ensure every family has a consistently polished experience. Every director is now your best director.

Bridging Tradition & Technology

You're already helping families in new ways, pushing the envelope and innovating in your community. You’re not afraid to try new things. You’re not afraid to be different.

You're leading your market—why should your technology partner be a follower?

Effie's story — our co-founder & CEO

Effie's story — our co-founder & CEO

I started Afterword after my dad died in August 2018. Never having planned a funeral before, my first instinct was to try to plan his service in the way that felt most comfortable to me – online. While I didn't grow up above a funeral home, Afterword is, in essence, a family business. My dad is the reason it exists, and the work we do is personal.

We know your work is personal, too. I’ve gained a deep appreciation for the crucial role that funeral directors play in the communities they serve. It’s because of this that we know software can never replace them. Regardless of age or generation, there will always be families who want to plan in-person. But there are also those, like me, who are more comfortable making these difficult decisions online. With this in mind, we've built the planning experience I wish I had years ago.

A death changes life forever—we're here for everything after
