Dealing with death is hard. Lantern is your step-by-step guide on how to navigate your life before and after a death. Create a pre-plan or navigate the logistics after a death.
I love it. The idea of death is obviously daunting but it's a reality. As an avid planner with anxiety, Lantern makes me feel so much better. I can plan ahead and have the tools just in case something does come up with someone close to me. The entire interface is calming and nothing about it is morose. It's a brilliant idea.
When I first met @alyssaruderman & @lizeddy3 during our search for this year's cohort of Grand Central Tech, it was clear they were the right team to tackle the unmet needs of caregivers, family members facing the death of a loved one and individuals considering their own end-of-life plans. I was that person for my mother and would have benefitted greatly from a solution like Lantern had it existed in 2016. So happy that Lantern exists now for all the daughters (and sons, siblings, grandchildren, etc.) for whom navigating death can feel less lonely, and more empowered 🙏❤️
I believe this product is fundamental. Too often people die without any thought as to their end of life plan. Obviously deaths can be unexpected, but in the most part people should be prepared. Without preparation, tough decisions fall to family members that are even less prepared to tackle them, and often results in families falling apart. This is easily preventable when a product like Lantern exists to help navigate people through both pre-death preparation (as morbid as that may be), and to take the burden off family members post death. It is a full-service product that ensures everything is taken care of, so you don't have to worry about anything once you do pass, and to know your family is being taken care of too. I think what Liz and Alyssa have created with Lantern is an innovative product that will be essential for people dealing with life before and after death.

I am glad to hear that planning for death is a growing topic. Its very mature to admit what's coming and make rational decisions that should help the loved ones before the time is due. Great job!
