Practical planning
Life & Departure Plan
The practical foundation of Digital Departures: organize the information, instructions and relationships your loved ones may need — while you still have the time and clarity to do it thoughtfully.
What it can contain
- Accounts, assets, debts, insurance and important contacts
- Digital assets, subscriptions and online services
- Where important paperwork, keys, valuables and documents are located
- Funeral, burial, cremation and donation arrangements
- Household knowledge: pool, TV, Wi-Fi, vendors, shutoffs, pets and maintenance
- Pet Continuity Plan with caregiver, veterinarian, routines and medications
- Self-authored obituary and eulogy
Death Steps
After a verified death, the system changes from planning mode into a clear, ordered checklist for the spouse, main contact or executor. Time-sensitive steps rise first; everything else can wait until the appropriate time.
Long-term: hospitals, coroners, funeral homes and other authorized institutions could know to “Check Digital Departures” for preauthorized urgent instructions.
