Farewell Checklist
How to use the farewell checklist to stay organized during a difficult time.
The farewell checklist helps you stay organized during a difficult time. It covers the essentials so nothing important is left undone.
What the Farewell Checklist Is
A farewell checklist is a task list for the practical steps that follow a loss: notifying family, arranging services, finding documents, and handling immediate needs. It’s called a farewell checklist because it’s about saying goodbye—not just memorial planning—and it guides you through the full process.
Creating One for a Family Member
You can create a farewell checklist for a family member from your family dashboard. Select the person and choose “Create farewell checklist.” The checklist will be tied to that family member so you can track progress in one place.
Customizing Tasks
Each checklist includes common tasks. You can add your own tasks, remove ones that don’t apply, and reorder items. Every family’s situation is different—customize the list so it fits yours.
Tracking Progress
Mark tasks as complete as you go. The checklist shows what’s done and what’s left. You can return anytime and pick up where you left off. No need to rush; work at your own pace.
