Vigil Planning
Bringing intention and care to your final days.
A vigil is the time of active dying—the final days or hours of life. It can be a space of deep presence, quiet connection, or meaningful ritual. Vigil Planning helps you and your loved ones prepare for that time with clarity, calm, and care.
We'll explore your preferences around:
Environment—lighting, music, scents, and comfort
Who you want present and how they can support you
Rituals, readings, or spiritual practices that bring meaning
Communication and presence—touch, silence, conversation
Timing, caregiving, and coordination with others
Together, we’ll shape a plan that honors your values, supports your loved ones, and helps everyone feel more prepared.

This service is for anyone who:
Wants a clear vision for their final days
Hopes to ease anxiety for themselves and loved ones
Has specific wishes around space, visitors, or rituals
Wants to empower their community to show up with confidence
Is supporting someone nearing death and needs guidance
You do not need to be actively dying to benefit. Many find peace in planning ahead.
Who This Is For
What To Expect
Most vigil plans are completed in 1–2 sessions and can be updated as needs shift. This process often:
Reduces anxiety about the unknown
Clarifies roles among loved ones
Creates an atmosphere of peace and intention
Helps families feel more confident and connected
You'll receive:
A written Vigil Plan Summary
Optional coaching for loved ones or chosen support people
Guidance on adapting the plan as circumstances evolve
Our Approach to Pricing
We believe end-of-life planning should be accessible to everyone—regardless of income, background, or financial circumstances. Our sliding scale reflects the real differences in what people can afford while ensuring that everyone receives the same thoughtful, professional care.
This isn't about proving need. It's about trusting you to choose the tier that fits your current situation. If you're able to pay more, your generosity helps make this work accessible to others. If money is tight, we're here to support you at a lower cost.
We don't ask for documentation. We don't assign value based on what you pay. Every person receives the same care, attention, and respect.
All Tiers Include
Up to 3 hours of planning, and a written vigil summary, and support.
Tier 1

I can easily meet all my basic needs and afford luxuries without worry.

For individuals with steady income and some financial safety nets. You can generally meet your basic needs without constant worry, though occasional challenges may arise.
-
If you identify with most of the following statements, this tier may be appropriate for you:
I can meet my basic needs (housing, food, healthcare) without constant worry, though I may occasionally feel financial stress.
I have a steady job or income source that allows me to live comfortably, if not luxuriously.
I have some savings, even if it's not as much as I'd like. I could handle a moderate financial emergency without it being catastrophic.
I have some debt (like student loans or a mortgage), but it's manageable and doesn't prevent me from meeting my needs.
I can afford to take a vacation most years, even if it's not extravagant.
I have some disposable income each month. I can occasionally buy new items and don't always have to opt for the cheapest option.
My family or I own some assets, like a home or investments, even if they're modest.
I've had access to higher education, either for myself or it was common in my family.
I live in a relatively safe neighborhood with decent amenities and schools.
I don't regularly face discrimination that significantly impacts my job prospects or daily life.
If I needed to see a doctor or dentist, I could do so without it causing severe financial strain.
Tier 3
$129
For those with stable income who can meet basic needs but have little expendable income. You may have experienced financial instability or barriers tied to identity or background.
-
If you identify with most of the following statements, this tier may be appropriate for you:
I can usually meet my basic needs, but it often requires careful budgeting and I sometimes struggle.
I have a job or income source, but it's not always stable or sufficient.
I have little to no savings. An unexpected expense of a few hundred dollars would be very difficult to manage.
I have debt that sometimes makes it hard to meet my basic needs.
Vacations are rare luxuries for me. If I do take time off, it's usually a "staycation" or visiting family.
I have very little disposable income. Most of my purchases are necessities, and I often have to choose the cheapest option.
I don't own significant assets. If I own a home, it may be in an area with lower property values.
Higher education was a financial stretch for me or not accessible at all.
I live in a neighborhood that may have safety concerns or limited amenities.
I sometimes face discrimination that affects my job prospects or daily life.

My income is unreliable or insufficient. I may be unemployed or underemployed.
I have no savings. Any unexpected expense, even minor, can be a crisis.
I have significant debt that prevents me from meeting basic needs.
