We all know we are going to die, also that people we love will likely leave the world in our time spent here, yet it's still somewhat taboo or considered morbid to some to approach and talk about death and how to prepare for and cope with loss. Thanks for helping to normalize the conversation, and help people through difficult transitions. Also, I'm excited to share this with my partner, who just finished up a Death & Dying class herself, and I'm sure will appreciate Lantern as well.

Finally! A service to help others through the end of life processes! I could have really used this 10 years ago when I lost my mom to cancer, it took me months to wrap up the business of her life. So glad this exists and is allowing others the capacity to fully prepare both themselves and their loved ones should they pass unexpectedly.

What a great idea, I think this is something rarely talked about but very important.

Hi Hunters! I'm Liz, Co-Founder and CEO of Lantern (www.lantern.co). First, thank you to @alexisohanian for hunting Lantern! Why do we know how hard the end-of-life and death process can be? We've been there. And, we were totally unprepared. Lantern began in the fall of 2018 with one sentence: “I think we need to do something about death.” Some background: I lost my dad when I was 9. So, when my grandmother (my dad’s mom) died in the winter of 2018, I was tasked with all of the planning that ensued. I walked into the nursing home where my grandmother lived and was confronted with two police officers, a nurse, my grandmother’s body, and a question of “what do you want to do next?” Needless to say, the experience was overwhelming, complicated, and pretty much entirely unguided. I started asking questions about why a better option didn’t exist and turned to @alyssaruderman, my go-to person for cracking a difficult challenge (and now Co-Founder and COO of Lantern!). Together we started answering that question with “it should and we should build it.” Today, we provide step-by-step guidance for navigating life before and after a death. Whether you're just preparing or recently experienced a death, you'll find all the tools, resources and services you need. This week, we launched Lantern Premium. With Lantern Premium, you can work your way through relevant tasks, store important information, and track and share your progress for just $27. Lantern can be used personally or as an employee benefit. We know every person should have an end of life plan but so many of us don't. Lantern makes it simple and all in a beautiful user experience.
