We know it’s hard to face death.
Let’s do it anyway.
With courage & community,
facing death gets easier.
When practical information is shared within an informed and connected community, the experience of dying, death, and grief can move from being overwhelming to being manageable — even enriching.
The PassingOn Collective helps you prepare for, engage with, and reflect upon the dying process.
Prepare
To prepare for death, the first step is understanding that death touches everyone. This realization, simple and obvious, grounds one’s grief in our universal, common experience. The next step involves details: what to do, how to do it, and who to call on. By defining legacy wishes, we can build and strengthen relationships.
Engage
Engage with the end of life. Whether through singing your loved one’s favorite songs or gathering to tell stories as they drift out of this world, the ability to be spiritually and emotionally grounded is a gift to everyone.
Reflect
Reflect after a death experience. What grief looks and feels like can be different than what we thought. Death is an existential passage for the deceased, and it’s a time of recalibration for grieving survivors.
You might be starting at the beginning. Or you might still be carrying a heavy heart from a death long 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 have to go it alone.
Sharing and Growing
Traditionally, villages are places where families both biological and chosen live together. In the village, people do two key things: they share ideas, goods, emotions and labor together, and they grow from being in interpersonal contact with one another.
Entering the arena of loss and grieving takes courage — and that confrontation becomes easier in the embrace 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.
