Feature Scope
- Guided, easy-to-use workflow covering 100+ important decisions and a simplified “Top 10” to get started
- Collaboration and sharing: invite and share with anyone via email so family and trusted friends can access wishes; ability to invite others to create their own AfterNotes
- Clear documentation of wishes, priorities, and important details; no legal jargon; not a legal will/trust
- For employees: access to AfterNotes tool, shareable checklists to divide tasks, funeral planning consultation and guidance, and a 15-minute estate settlement consult; proactive caregiving and pre-loss support; trusted vendor referrals with discounts
- Security/privacy posture: built with secure vendors (e.g., Amazon/AWS); Bereave advises not to store sensitive information in AfterNotes; privacy policy states data is not sold and aggregate usage may be used to improve product and marketing
- Employer enablement: practical support pre- and post-loss, aligning with broader HR bereavement resources
