Most companies don’t realize they’re carrying the burden of their employees’ grief, and when leaders aren’t prepared, that grief can spread quickly through the workplace. HR leaders feel this every day.

Most families don’t fall apart after a loss because they didn’t love each other.

They fall into confusion, conflict, and chaos because there wasn’t a plan.

Only 24% of Americans have a will. That number should stop us in our tracks.

Not because everyone is irresponsible, but because people believe things like:

- “A will is complicated.”
- “I have to spend thousands.”
- “I don’t have enough assets to matter.”
- “I don’t want to deal with attorneys.”
- “I’ll get to it later.”

But here’s what doesn’t get talked about enough:

It’s not just about money.

Families fight over *sentimental value* too. A parent’s tools. A wardrobe. A photo album. The items that “aren’t worth anything” can be the things that hurt the most when there’s no clarity.

That’s why we built I Made the Arrangements.

We help people plan ahead with a guided, fill-in-the-blank experience that turns “I should do this someday” into “My family won’t have to guess.”

We believe in grief.

We’re not trying to eliminate grief.

We’re trying to reduce the stress around grief by removing the avoidable chaos that comes from leaving everything undocumented.

If you’ve been putting this off, consider this your nudge,

Make the plan while you can.

Your family will thank you when they can’t ask you questions anymore.

If you want, comment **PLAN** and I’ll share the simplest place to start.

Every week, I hear another story.

Someone passed away with no plan.
No instructions.
No documents.
No conversations.

And what’s left behind isn’t just grief, it’s chaos.

Families scrambling.
Arguments over what “they would have wanted.”
No idea where the will is (if it exists at all).
No clarity around finances.
No access to accounts.
No passwords.
No login information for phones, email, or bills.

Just confusion layered on top of heartbreak.

Here’s the hard truth:
Love without preparation leaves a mess.

Planning isn’t morbid. It’s responsible.
It’s not about death, it’s about the people you leave behind.

Your family needs:
• Clear wishes
• Organized documents
• Financial clarity
• Access to critical accounts
• Instructions, not guesses

When you take the time to put a plan in place, and actually tell your family where it lives, you’re giving them something priceless: peace.

If you care about the people you love, don’t leave them in the dark.

Clarity is an act of love.

Most end-of-life platforms feel like they were built by a committee of lawyers who’ve never actually lost anyone.
Cold. Transactional. Forms on top of forms. All while asking people to make some of the most intimate decisions of their entire lives.
At I Made the Arrangements, we keep hearing the same thing from users,
“You humanized this.”

And honestly? That’s the highest compliment we could get.

Because end-of-life planning isn’t just paperwork. It’s love. It’s legacy. It’s clarity for the people who will someday be holding your photograph and trying to make sense of everything you left behind.
If a platform can’t meet people with compassion during one of life’s heaviest chapters, then what’s the point?
We built IMTA differently,

• Warm, not clinical

• Guided, not overwhelming

• Personal, not transactional

• Compassion-first, always

This is the most personal topic there is. It deserves a human touch.
And we’re proud to be setting a new standard for what “end-of-life planning” should feel like.
Human. Supportive. And rooted in caring for the people who matter most.
If that resonates with you, or your organization, let’s talk.

Suffering a loss is brutal.
Suffering a loss during the holidays is even harder.
We live in a death-denying culture. We don’t talk about it, don’t plan for it, and don’t face it, so when death arrives, it feels like a surprise every single time.
And then comes the scramble.
Families are forced to make complex, high-stakes decisions in days or hours, while emotionally wrecked, exhausted, and grieving. It’s unfair. It’s overwhelming. And it happens every day.
Planning ahead doesn’t lessen the loss.
It lessens the chaos around the loss.
That’s why I built I Made the Arrangements: not to remove grief, but to remove unnecessary stress during the hardest moments of life.

Clarity is kindness.
Preparation is love.
Live fully. Leave wisely.

I don’t get emotional about much in business, but this one hits different.
When I think about end-of-life planning, and what we’ve built with I Made the Arrangements, I couldn’t be more proud. For years I’ve watched families struggle after losing someone they love. Not because they didn’t care, but because there was no plan.
No instructions.
No clarity.
Just stress, confusion, and a pile of decisions that no grieving family should have to make.
And here’s the part that always gets me
They’re robbed of the ability to mourn.
Instead of saying goodbye, they’re scrambling.
That’s why we created I Made the Arrangements, a place where anyone can set up their funeral wishes, will, advance directive, and legacy messages in a way that actually protects their family. Not someday. Right now.
And today, we’re adding something that takes this to a whole new level
Final Expense Insurance, also known as Burial Insurance.
For the first time, families can not only make the plans,
They can fund it.
No financial burden.
No surprises.
No “Who’s going to pay for this?” arguments in the middle of heartbreak.
This completes the circle.
This makes end-of-life planning truly comprehensive.
I’m pumped about where this is going, not because it’s a feature launch, but because it’s a chance to give people something rare in these moments, peace.
Peace for the person making the plan.
Peace for the people they leave behind.
If you’ve ever dealt with a loss where no plan was in place, you know exactly why this matters.
We’re here to change that.
I Made the Arrangements
Plan with love.
Leave clarity, not chaos.

Talking about funeral costs is uncomfortable, but avoiding the conversation can leave families facing unexpected expenses. The average funeral now costs over $10,000, and most people don’t think about it until it’s too late.

Starting the conversation helps you plan emotionally and financially before grief becomes a financial emergency. I Made The Arrangements gives employees a simple way to prepare and protect their loved ones. 🤍
