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:

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.
