Guiding families through life's hardest transition

When you lose someone you love, Afterlight navigates the overwhelming logistics — from funeral planning to closing accounts — so you can focus on what matters most: each other.

No one should navigate grief and paperwork alone

When someone you love passes away, you're suddenly responsible for hundreds of decisions, deadlines, and details — often while in the deepest grief of your life.

From arranging a funeral within hours to closing bank accounts and transferring titles over months, the logistical burden is staggering. Most families have no roadmap, no checklist, and no one to call.

Afterlight changes that.

Born from a family's experience

When we lost a family member, we expected the grief. What we didn't expect was the avalanche of logistics that followed — urgent decisions about funeral arrangements tangled with months of account closures, title transfers, and paperwork we didn't even know existed.

We spent hours on hold with banks, made trips to county offices, and missed deadlines we didn't know we had. All while trying to be present for the people who needed us most. The process felt designed for a world where families have unlimited time, energy, and expertise. Most don't.

Afterlight was built to fix that. Not to replace the attorneys and funeral directors who do important work — but to be the guide that helps families know what to do, when to do it, and who to call. So that in the hardest season of your life, you can focus on the right things at the right times.

What families are saying

After my mother passed, I was drowning. Afterlight laid out everything that needed to happen, in the right order, and told me exactly when I needed a lawyer versus when I could handle it myself. It saved me thousands.

I had no idea how many accounts needed to be closed. Afterlight built me a complete list, gave me draft letters for each one, and flagged the two that actually required an attorney. Incredibly helpful at the worst time.

James R.

When my husband passed suddenly, I couldn't think straight. Having Afterlight available at 3am to answer 'what do I do next' was like having a calm, knowledgeable friend who just knew. I don't know how I would have managed without it.

Common questions

As soon as you need help — whether that's immediately after a loss or weeks later when the paperwork starts piling up. There's no wrong time. Afterlight adapts to wherever you are in the process and picks up from there.
Neither. Afterlight is a coordination platform. We guide you through the process and connect you with the right professionals — funeral homes, attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors — when their expertise is needed. Think of us as your knowledgeable guide who knows what needs to happen and who can help.
After a brief intake, Afterlight builds a personalized plan covering everything that needs to happen — organized by urgency and tailored to your state's specific requirements. As you work through tasks, the AI provides step-by-step instructions, pre-written letters, provider comparisons, and deadline reminders. When something requires professional expertise, like probate filing or tax implications, Afterlight flags it and connects you with a vetted local specialist.
Afterlight knows when a task crosses from administrative into legal territory — and it will tell you. When that happens, we connect you with a local attorney who specializes in estate and probate work. You'll know exactly what to ask them and what documents to bring, so you get the most from every billable hour.
Most families use Afterlight for 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the estate. Some situations wrap up sooner, others take longer. There are no long-term contracts — cancel anytime and you'll keep access through the end of your billing period.
Absolutely. We treat your family's information with the utmost care. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your information with third parties without your explicit consent, and we never use your personal data to train AI models.
Currently, Afterlight is focused on U.S. families, as estate laws, funeral regulations, and administrative processes vary significantly by country. We're exploring international expansion and would love to hear from you if you're interested.
