Preparation is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family. Our mission is to help people plan, organize, and communicate before the unthinkable happens — so grief isn’t compounded by confusion.

Through workshops, practical tools, and compassionate guidance, we teach families how to document wishes, safeguard important information, and create a lasting legacy rooted in clarity and love.

We believe in compassion over fear, action over avoidance, and leaving a legacy that reflects love — not confusion.

Most people want to be prepared — they just don’t know where to start. You can spend hours researching what to gather or which documents matter… and still never get around to doing it.

That’s why we created Unbury the Burden — to make readiness simple, practical, and achievable.

We provide educational events, easy-to-use tools, and step-by-step resources that help families organize what matters most before crisis strikes.

Because peace of mind doesn’t come from endless searching — it comes from knowing it’s finally done.

After a loss, families face an avalanche of decisions — from locating documents to managing estates and accounts. Most of this chaos can be prevented with clear preparation.

Our founder knows this firsthand, and Unbury the Burden was born from that lived experience.

We empower families to replace panic with peace, ensuring no one is left searching for answers in their darkest moments.

Unbury the Burden is led by a compassionate, hands-on Board of Directors who bring together expertise in nonprofit management, financial strategy, and family advocacy.

Each member shares a common belief — that preparation is an act of love.

Whether you volunteer, donate, or sponsor a community class, your support helps families prepare with compassion and confidence. Together, we’re building a culture where planning ahead is seen as an act of love, not fear.
