Frequently asked questions

Q. Why should I choose to use an end-of-life companion

A. We plan for the most significant moments in our lives—from a wedding to a new career, and even the birth of a child. We invest our time, energy, and resources to ensure these events are as beautiful and meaningful as possible. Why should the end of life be any different?

Just as a birth doula supports a new mother through a beautiful but challenging transition, an end-of-life companion provides compassionate support during life's final chapter. This isn't a time to be faced alone or with unprepared loved ones. We are here to provide the same level of intentionality and care to ensure this sacred time is filled with dignity, peace, and love.

Our services are an investment in peace of mind—for you and your family. We help you create a final experience that is a true reflection of your life, alleviating the burdens of planning and organization so you can focus on making cherished memories.

Q. What is a comfort companion?

A. A comfort companion provides non-medical, personalized support for individuals nearing the end of their lives. Our role is to be a compassionate presence, offering emotional and social support, and helping with practical tasks to ensure a sense of peace, dignity, and companionship. We are not a medical service; we work alongside hospice care and other medical professionals to provide holistic comfort.

Q. What services do you offer?

A. We believe that every life's final chapter should be filled with peace, dignity, and connection. Our bespoke services are designed to address the emotional, logistical, and personal needs that arise during this time. Whether you are looking to create a lasting legacy or simply find comfort in a gentle moment, we are here to support you. To see a list of our packages, please click here.

Q. How are your services different from hospice care?

A. Hospice care is a medical service that provides pain and symptom management for individuals with a terminal illness. We are a complementary, non-medical service that focuses on the social, emotional, and personal comfort of the individual and their family. We work in tandem with hospice teams to ensure a comprehensive circle of care.

Q. How do you handle sensitive topics?

We approach every conversation with the utmost compassion, empathy, and respect. Our companions are trained to listen without judgment and to create a safe space for you to share your thoughts, fears, and wishes. Our priority is always your comfort and dignity.

Q. How do you personalize your services?

A. Every package is entirely bespoke. We begin with a personal consultation to understand your unique life, wishes, and personality. From there, we tailor every detail—from the questions in our interviews to the items in a comfort kit—to create a service that is a true reflection of you.

Q. How do we get started?

A. Getting started is simple. Please contact us for a complimentary, no-obligation consultation. We can meet with you and your family to discuss your needs and create a personalized plan that provides comfort and peace of mind.

Q. Are your services intended for a specific age or stage in life?

A. You can be any age to benefit from our services. We cater to individuals who are nearing their final chapter. You can use our services at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Packages.

Q. How do your packages differ from your a la carte services?

A. Our packages are curated, comprehensive experiences designed to address specific needs, such as a celebration of life or preserving a legacy. Our a la carte services are individual offerings that allow you to pick and choose exactly what you need, providing more flexibility for daily support. Think of our packages as a complete, pre-planned journey, while a la carte services are individual stops along the way.

Q. Can I combine elements from different packages?

A. Yes, our packages are designed to be flexible. We are happy to discuss how we can tailor any package to your specific needs, or combine elements from different packages to create a truly bespoke experience for you and your family.

Q. When is the best time to book a package?

A. It is never too early to begin planning. For packages like our "Living Legacy" or "Organizational" services, planning in advance allows us to work at a comfortable pace. For our "Departure" packages, we are available to assist as soon as you feel the need for support. We understand that these moments can be unexpected, and we are here to help whenever you need us.

Q. What is the pricing for your packages and services?

A. Our services are personalized and our pricing is based on the scope of work and the time required.
