Built to meet your individual and family needs.

Your ELDR will walk you through the following process:

  1. Assessment: Orientation, lessons from deaths in your past, commitments, resources, traditions, challenges, and opportunities

  2. Design: Personal goals, priorities, getting organized, decisions, planning, and organization of resources

  3. Implementation: Project management, bringing together your team and stakeholders, organizing documents/plans/accounts/storage 

  4. Closure: Review of all documents and steps, communicating your plans and wishes to key people, integrating your learnings

A Will Is Not Enough

When you hear “end of life planning” you may think,
“Well…I have a will. Isn’t that enough?” 

Unfortunately, it is not. Your will only covers one element of your planning, leaving other key areas unsettled for you and your family.

The Benefits of Working with an ELDR

Accountability: Life is busy, and it can be difficult to tie up our loose ends on our own. Your ELDR will provide you with consistent, supportive accountability to make sure you get your planning completed. 

Experience: End of life planning can be overwhelming and confusing, further compounded by your own unique needs and family dynamics. Our ELDRs are professional, versatile, and experienced at handling the complexities.

A Comprehensive Approach: When you try to manage all aspects of planning yourself, you miss out on having one person who sees the big picture. Your ELDR will guide you through each step, ensuring all components work in unity.

Peace of Mind: Your ELDR’s streamlined approach addresses emotional and practical barriers, enabling you to engage fully and experience the benefits of a thoughtful plan for years and generations to come.

  • Your package includes 8 conversations with your ELDR, each one lasting an hour or less.

  • The majority of our sessions take place virtually over Zoom or Google Meet.

  • You can expect a thoughtful, compassionate, well-organized conversation during each of your 8 ELDR sessions. Each conversation is a give and take which includes a balance of your answers to key questions, information exchange, guided decision-making, and recommendations for further action. You will advance through the following four phases, crafted by your ELDR in response to your unique story:

    • Assessment (what are you bringing to the table?)

    • Design (making a plan unique to your situation and your priorities)

    • Implementation (getting stuff done)

    • Closure (wrapping up the process).

  • We recommend one conversation per week, but we recognize that things may come up and you may need additional time to complete your sessions. Most packages are completed in 8-16 weeks, though are allowed to take as much as 24 weeks depending on your personal pace and schedule.
