about the unfinished list
From modern memorial planning & design to estate & home support, The Unfinished List helps you move through the lists you never thought you’d have to make after loss.
When grief meets logistics, it helps to have a guide.
When you lose someone you love, life quickly fills with tasks you never expected: planning a service, deciding how to honor their story, sorting through belongings, and managing the home they left behind. It can feel overwhelming to face on your own.
The Unfinished List was created to step into that space - helping families carry what feels unfinished and turn it into something meaningful. Sometimes that means planning a celebration of life that feels true and complete. Other times, it’s providing clarity and support as you make decisions at home, so daily life feels manageable again.
Whether you need structure for the ceremony, creative ideas for tributes, or guidance in sorting through belongings and preparing a house for its next chapter, we’re here so you can focus on what matters most.
At The Unfinished List, our purpose is simple: to make what’s left feel less overwhelming, and to honor your loved one’s story with thoughtfulness and respect.
Why I Built This
I started The Unfinished List after experiencing loss in my own family and seeing how quickly the to-dos pile up when you’re grieving. Planning a memorial, sorting through keepsakes, making decisions about a home — it all felt like too much at once. I wanted to create a place where families could feel supported through those moments, with both structure and compassion.
This work is deeply personal to me, and it’s why I approach every family’s needs with the same care I wished for in my own.
