Why we all need to rethink death

We launched Farewill in November last year with one clear mission: change the way the world deals with death, forever. Since then, thousands of people have joined us to plan for their own deaths in a more accessible, meaningful and joyful way.

This is why we do it.

Making a will is one of the most important things each of us will ever do. But it’s been complicated by old-fashioned attitudes, legal jargon and lack of transparency. Dying without a will costs your family thousands in lost assets, and leaves the law to decide who gets everything you own and love.

We believe there’s a better way.

We believe in a world where wills are accessible to everyone, where everyone can have a normal, open and positive conversation about death.

We believe planning for our own death not only takes care of the legals, but helps us appreciate and celebrate life. A way to say now what you can’t later.

We’re blowing the cobwebs off the death industry. And the journey starts with better wills.
