OUR PROCESS
How it Works
Holding Space
Our Grief Guides collaborate with you to manage the logistics of loss, creating a supportive space to process grief through memorials, rituals, and nature.
Charting the Journey
The Journey Map provides a clear framework for your healing journey, offering personalized options and tracking your progress to ensure consistent support and visible milestones.
Memorial Coordination
We integrate essential elements for your healing, offering referrals and planning assistance for meaningful memorial rituals and nature-based events that honor your loved one.
Cultivating Growth
Our process fosters personal growth, strengthens community bonds, and nurtures our natural ecosystem, helping you find healing while contributing to a larger purpose.
SAFETY FIRST
Our process is not intended to be a replacement for professional medical help. If at any time you are in crisis or are experiencing an emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. If you're having harmful thoughts, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center in your area at any time. If you are located outside the United States, call your local emergency line immediately.
OUR WORK
We help those who experience loss journey through grief with intentional memorials and rituals that center our relationship with nature. In recognizing nature as a restorative force our grief journey process allows us to be co-creators in the conservation of natural spaces. We offer comprehensive grief support to serve as a guiding light on your grief journey, assisting in coordinating memorials and experiences, and discovering meaning with touchstones to honor the memories of those we've lost.
OUR VISION
Death is as a natural part of life. In embracing this simple, yet profound reality we are able to chart a path forward. Through our process those who experience loss are able to receive the support, care, and resources they need, when and where they need it most. We aspire to be at the forefront of this cultural shift, transforming the way society deals with death and grief. We aim to establish Earthly After as the natural platform for end-of-life planning, grief support, and sustainable memorial options, touching the lives of millions globally and ensuring that no one has to navigate the journey of loss alone. We are committed to democratizing death, making dignified and heartfelt goodbyes accessible to all, regardless of their economic background. This is our contribution to a more compassionate, empathetic, and sustainable world.
Our goal is to help preserve over 1 million acres of forestland, providing serene, natural spaces for memorialization and remembrance, while also contributing to vital environmental conservation.
