Death can honestly be terrifying and overwhelming to think about (not only from a logistics and planning perspective, but also from a “OMG we’re all going to die. What happens after we die?!?! I miss the people that I know who have died.” perspective. I’m sweating just thinking about it!) I love that Lantern is a calm, cool, collected authority on all things death - your one stop shop to start figuring out the details in a non-scary way. Thank you for such a beautifully designed product!
I've loved this product so far- I started this when trying to figure out the many many answers to "what haven't we thought of yet?" after my dad died this summer. That experience highlighted how helpful a Lantern plan would be for my own family after I die. I'm working on my own profile and it's been surprisingly fun to make my funeral playlist and I'm making it my goal to make my daughter giggle when she reads my last wishes. Not to mention, getting documents together to be prepared for when the unthinkable happens relieves a bit of the anxiety within my grief process (and, you know, global pandemic.) I've avoided this type of planning before because it felt too heavy to look at the possibilities directly. It's still heavy, sure, but Lantern has made these loaded tasks feel just light enough to carry.

Having recently lost two people in my immediate family, I have leaned on Lantern as a resource in helping me manage logistics as well as navigating through my grief. I am so grateful that Lantern exists as it truly is a resource that we may all use at some point in our lives.

So glad to have something like Lantern out there! As an older millennial with aging parents (and lucky enough to also still have some grandparents!) this is a resource I would never want to do without. Kudos to this team!
@ralphhoward thank you! We're glad you found it, too :)

Super cool product! Love the design and ease of use. End of life planning is something I've never even thought about, but am starting to realize how complicated it all is, and how useful a tool like Lantern is. Thanks for making this
End of life is an extraordinary complicated, stressful, and traumatic time for those dealing with loss or thrust into the role of caregiver or next of kin.
Caring for the caregivers is oft overlooked, but fortunately products like Lantern exist to help fill this void. Employers and health insurers should take notice as they reexamine their investments in whole-person health.
