About Get Set For Death
A softer place to plan for the hardest moments.
Death planning usually shows up as a stack of forms, a few half-finished documents, and a mental note to “get to it later.” Meanwhile, the people we love are left to guess what we would have wanted on one of the worst days of their lives.
Get Set For Death was created to offer something different: a calm, human place to organize your wishes, documents, and messages — at your own pace, in everyday language, with clear prompts instead of legalese.
What this tool is for
This is not a law firm, a funeral home, or a replacement for professional advice. It’s a companion to those things — a checklisted, guided space where you can gather your intentions, preferences, and practical details in one place, and share them with the people who need to know.
How it’s designed
The app is built to feel more like a quiet conversation than a form. Warm colors, simple language, and small steps make it easier to start, pause, and return as your life — and feelings — change.
A few principles we build by
- Start where you are. You don’t need everything figured out. One note, one checklist, one conversation is enough for today.
- Be clear, not perfect. The people who love you don’t need a flawless plan. They need enough guidance to feel like they’re honoring you.
- Reduce the emotional load. When details are written down in advance, there’s more room in the hardest moments for presence, memory, and care.
About the person building this
Get Set For Death is being built by someone who cares deeply about how we talk about dying, and how much weight we put on the people who survive us. It’s a project rooted in practicality, but also in love — for partners, kids, friends, and anyone who might one day be asked, “What do you think they would have wanted?”
This tool is one small attempt to answer that question ahead of time, so the people who love you can focus less on paperwork and more on remembering you.
