For the lists you didn’t expect to make.

Clear, personal support for the plans, pieces, and moments that follow a loss.

There’s no roadmap for what comes next—just decisions, details, and the hope that it will somehow feel like enough.

Whether you're planning a memorial, writing something meaningful, or trying to hold everything together, this space was built to help you move through it — with clarity, care, and calm direction.

First 72-Hour Checklist

A clear, step-by-step guide for the first few days.

 Helps you take action — without holding it all in your head.

You’re in the right place if…

  • You’re the one organizing everything—while grieving

  • You want it to feel personal, not performative

  • You’ve started a photo folder but don’t know what comes next

  • You’re staring at a blank page, trying to write something that feels true

  • You don’t want to use a funeral home’s template—but you also don’t want to do it all yourself

  • You’re trying to honor someone fully, even if it’s just for you

why this exists

In the days after a loss, most people are handed a folder — thin on answers, thick with logistics. There’s pressure to plan quickly, write something meaningful, coordinate details, and somehow make it all feel like enough.

Most families don’t know they have other options — especially when they’re grieving.

The Unfinished List exists to offer something different. A place to begin. A way through. Real support that meets both the emotion and the task — without pressure, without sales tactics, and without pretending this part is easy.

Every offering is designed to help you take the next step, honor someone fully, and feel less alone in the process.
