about the unfinished list
The Unfinished List offers modern memorial experience planning, tributes, and support — for the lists you never thought you’d have to make.
When grief meets logistics, it helps to have a guide.
When you lose someone you love, it can feel like everything is left unfinished — plans, conversations, and the long list of details that suddenly fall to you.
The Unfinished List was created to help families carry those unfinished pieces and turn them into something meaningful: a celebration of life that feels true, intentional, and complete.
Whether you need structure for the ceremony, creative ideas for personal touches, or support in designing a visual tribute, we guide you through the planning so you can focus on being present.
At The Unfinished List, our purpose is simple: to transform what feels overwhelming into a day of remembrance that honors your loved one’s story.
What We Do
We help you plan memorial experiences and celebration of life events that feel human - not handled.
Whether you’re planning something simple, or want everything designed and done, we offer personal support for each step.
There’s no one-size-fits-all. Just clarity, care, and thoughtful options for shaping the day in a way that reflects who they were.
How We Help
Memorial Mapping
A focused planning session to help you organize, reflect, and move forward.
Visual Tributes
Slideshows, posters, and keepsake designs that reflect who they were — not just what happened.
Custom Planning Support
Thoughtful memorial outlines, speaker guidance, and ceremony venues, vendors, and details shaped to fit your vision — wherever you are.
Done-for-You Design
Writing, flow, visuals, and all materials created for you, so the experience feels cohesive and true.
Why It’s Called The Unfinished List
Grief leaves behind more than memories - it leaves behind the things that didn’t get said, shared, or done.
This work helps fill in some of that space - with intention, beauty, and meaning.
Why I Built This
After my own loss, I was overwhelmed by decisions, deadlines, and to-do lists I never saw coming. I didn’t want anyone else to face that fog without a guide.
I built The Unfinished List to offer exactly what I needed back then — structure, support, and something meaningful to hold onto. Whether you’re planning a celebration of life, sorting through belongings, or just trying to keep it together — this space is here to help you move through the chaos with clarity and care.
