We know it’s hard to face death.
Let’s do it anyway.
With courage & community,
facing death gets easier.
We know that when practical information is shared within an informed and connected community, the experience of dying, death, and grief can move from being overwhelming to manageable — even enriching.
The PassingOn Collective helps you prepare for, engage with, and reflect upon the dying process.
Prepare
Prepare yourself or your loved one for death. The first step is understanding that death touches everyone. The next involves details: what do we do, how do we do it, and who do we call on. By defining legacy wishes, we may build and strengthen relationships.
Engage
Engage with the end of life. Whether it’s through singing your loved one their favorite songs or gathering to tell stories as they drift out of this world, the ability to be spiritually and emotionally present is a proper gift.
Reflect
Reflect after a death. What grief looks and feels like can be different than what we thought it would. Death is an existential passage for the one who died, and it’s also a time of recalibration for those grieving their death.
You might be starting at the beginning/“prepare” stage, or you might still be carrying a heavy heart from a death from decades ago (which is normal, by the way!); or maybe you’re in the thick of it right now.
Wherever you are in the process, we don’t think you should go it alone.
Sharing and Growing
Traditionally, villages are places were (biological and chosen) families live. They do two key things in this community: they share ideas, goods, and emotional labor with each other, and they grow from one another.
Entering this arena takes courage — and that journey becomes easier in the company of your village.

The PassingOn Collective
is a benefit company.
Simply put: we have the passion and focus of a non-profit, with the management and operations rigor of a commercial business.
We pay taxes, and contributions to PassingOn are not tax deductible.
Whatever money is leftover after expenses, we recirculate back into the PassingOn Village to help those in need of quality deathcare support.
Contributions can be designated for community support or specific groups.
