Project Description

The My AfterLife mission is to provide a solution to the age-old questions:

  1. What happens to all my cherished memories/moments when I'm gone?
  2. How do I connect future generations to my legacy – and to those that came before me?
  3. How can I make things easier on my family when faced with tying up all the loose ends of my life?

There is currently no convenient, approachable, “one-stop-shop” that exists for end-of-life planning.

Until now.

We've developed a solution that helps collect, curate, and commemorate your life, your way. And in the process, allows family and friends to grow closer to you.

My AfterLife

What

My AfterLife is a hub for what matters to you. We help you collect, curate, and commemorate your life through a simple platform to preserve all the highlights of your life for generations to come. It is also a secure way to safeguard your digital assets and directives to share with loved ones today or after you pass. After all, it’s hard enough to cope with the devastating loss, let alone all of the details and decisions involved.

How

Preserve your fabulous moments.

In the age of technology, our experiences and memories are shared on a wide array of platforms. Collect your favorites in one spot for loved ones to access. Organize your entire online life into a bundle of digital living wills, funeral plans, multimedia memorial portfolios, and estate arrangements.

Why

We are two women in our early 40's who have been touched by the loss of a loved one and wish we had just one more minute with them to capture more memories and more information about their lives.  

"In 2018, my best friend from college passed suddenly, and I was called to give a eulogy. That is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, including the added pressure that I was honoring her as she would want and the worry her family felt wondering about her final wishes. Additionally, all three of my adulthood best friends have lost a parent in the last 6 years. As my parents age, I want to ensure their legacy and stories survive long after they’re gone."  – Katie Campbell, CEO and founder

"Growing up in a military family, it's customary at funerals to play certain music and do things a certain way. Unfortunately, when my vibrant, quirky, older sister was killed, my mother (in her grief and avoidance of the situation) pulled out the trusty tape of funeral songs and that's what we laid my sister to rest to. I knew it's not what she would have wanted, but we had no direction and no emotional energy to spend figuring such things out." – Lauren Gilmore, Communications and co-founder

With Your Help

We know there is a market out there wanting this information and not knowing how to capture it. We recently launched our website, but with your support we will:

  • Add website and product features (video recordings, digital obituary and commemoration pages, posthumous messages)
  • Develop both a web app and a companion mobile app (for easier uploading of information)

It's only through the financial help that we can begin building those capabilities. 

Choose your level of support
  • Pearly Gates: For people wanting a secure place to upload their most important items. From favorite photos to your will, tons of space to organize what matters to you.
  • Guardian Angel: For people needing a bit more space to tell their tale for future generations. Includes space for documents, photos, and videos so you can have all your info in one place.
  • Eternal Flame: For people a little extra they require capacity for everything that makes them unique. Be celebrated for generations with additional, built-in features.
  • Concierge Packages: For people who'd like to work with Katie and Lauren to finish the project with a sense of urgency instead of letting it linger indefinitely. Let's commemorate you now, really celebrate your life and oversee all the details so your family isn't left guessing.
  • Financial contribution: For people who see the need for a product like ours and would just like to help fund us.

My AfterLife also makes a great gift if you have a parent or loved one you'd like to work with on digitizing their memories/getting all these lingering questions answered while making it a quality-time project to complete together.

If you have any questions or comments... We're dying to hear from you. Please email us [email protected]. And if you're not ready to make a financial offering but would like to subscribe to our newsletters, we'd love to have you. www.my-afterlife.com

Our hope is that this platform will give comfort and answers to those seeking it. At the very least, make our mortality something we aren’t afraid to talk about – and in some instances, make a serious topic a bit more lighthearted. And thanks to your generous contribution, we can do all of that.

The Campaign FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • How to confirm death? Designee must provide a copy of the death certificate or obituary along with a copy of the designee's ID. Both must be notarized. This can be done via email [email protected]
    How often does system automatically re-confirm designee? Yearly. All designees must accept invitation from account holder to hold this position. Designees can be family members, friends, attorney, etc.
    How many times does system remind designee to accept their role 3. If information is provided, we send either a text or email once (1) a month for the first three (3) months.
    What does my designee need to do to gain access to my profile after I pass? Designee must provide a copy of the death certificate or obituary along with a copy of the designee's ID. Both must be notarized. This can be done via email [email protected]
    How do you notify people after a death has been confirmed? We don't. We do not have the right to tell people of your passing. That is up to your directives and designee. It is a very sensitive discussion that should not come from a random platform.
    How is a designee verified? Designee gets a secure email link to set up a profile on My AfterLife (2FA).
    What is the difference between a primary designee and all other designees? Primary name/email appear on guest book page, primary is the only designee from which we will accept a certifiied death certificate to confirm your passing.
    Do I have to be 16? Yes, that's what it says in our Terms of Use.
    Does my Designee have to be 16? Yes, that's what it says in our Terms of Use.
    Can I create an account for someone else? No.
    How do I cancel my account? While there is no refund, you can regift any unused membership within two (2) years. To do so, email us at [email protected]. If you have already uploaded information but want it removed, email us and we will delete all information under your account. We will also send you a link to download your informaiton so you'll still have it in one place. Download links must be used within 30 days.
    What is the refund policy? No refund, if you haven’t used your product in 2 yrs you can regift it to someone.
    Why wouldn't I just store my photos and content on Google and Apple? It's difficult, complex, and costly to request Google, Apple, and other Internet giants to hand-over valuable photos, documents, emails, etc from your loves ones. In most cases you need a specific court order instructing Google and Apple to hand-over the requested data to you. AfterLife designees have full access to your profile and the information within under structured and secure but less stressful terms. We will also never sell or use your info. All information uploaded remains the property of the owner until which it becomes passed onto the designee.
    How do I report a technical problem or bug within the site? We want this to be a simple, secure area to keep your most important personal content. If you have any issues or errors, please contact us at [email protected].
    I wish you offered a specific feature or service. How do I suggest this? If you have a great idea you'd love to see offered through My AfterLife, let us know by emailing [email protected]. We're always open to improving our services and hearing from our customers. While we can't guarantee implementing every idea or request, we truly appreciate you providing us with your feedback.
