It started with one object.A biodegradable urn that was simple, beautiful, and quietly transformative.
But as we listened to families, ritual workers, artists, and those navigating grief, we realized something deeper:One product is not enough.Saying goodbye isn’t a single moment—it’s a series of choices, gestures, and reflections. It’s paperwork, planting, planning, remembering, and returning.
So we began building more. A full ecosystem of tools for Better Death.While many of these items are still in development, we’re working to bring them to life—one piece at a time, with care, testing, and deep intention.
Here’s what’s coming soon:

Death Journal – Your Voice, Before You Go

Why We’re Building This
Because no one teaches us how to die.And fewer still show us how to say goodbye well.
So we’re building what we wish existed: A set of thoughtful, beautiful tools to help you prepare, remember, and let go—with care.
Not everything is ready yet.But it will be.
