About us

Kick the bucket. Pass on. Meet your maker. Bite the dust. Didn't make it. Shuffle off this mortal coil.

There are more euphemisms for "dead" than almost any other word in the English language. We avoid talking about death like naming it invites death to our doorstep.

Then someone we love dies.

We have no choice but to face it. Name it. And on top of that, we need to plan something, but with no clear idea what our options are.

The Endings Company is a memorial planning marketplace. We show you your options—venues, service providers, memorial planners—and help you find the right places and people to work with.

We help you navigate everything. Where it happens. How it feels. What people eat. What's playing. Right now or in a year. A memorial service or one hell of a party. Whatever feels right for your person and the people who loved them.

In the process, we're building stories and resources that make death a little easier to plan for—and maybe a little easier to talk about. Because you can’t separate planning a memorial from grieving. And you and your person deserve something more personal than just the standard options.
