A Clear Path Forward When You Need It Most 

Practical, step-by-step guides to help you navigate everything from the first 24 hours to final estate settlement—created by a mortician who understands both the professional process and the personal pain of loss.

Born From Personal Loss, Built on Professional Experience 

I created Peaceful Next Steps after watching my own family struggle twice with the overwhelming confusion that follows a death. Even with my years as a mortician and working in the funeral industry, I saw how the combination of grief and endless decisions paralyzed the people I love most.

No one should have to navigate this alone or learn through costly mistakes. These guides combine professional expertise with real understanding—because I've stood on both sides of this experience.
