Backed by top investors and founded by an experienced team, we’re applying modern technology, unmatched hospitality, and operational excellence to an industry unchanged for 70+ years. We’re not a slow, dusty funeral home. We’re a lively, mission-driven, and well-funded team with proven track records from Stripe, Google, Opendoor, Oscar, a16z, and more.
