Why Departy exists

They couldn't finish the will.
But they knew their funeral song.

When I was practising as an entertainment lawyer, my clients would occasionally ask me to prepare their will. I'd send them the 20 questions I needed them to answer so I could get started.

80% never replied.

The other 20% who eventually came back almost always said the same thing: "Sorry for the delay: I couldn't decide what song I wanted played at my funeral."

That song is the least important bit of information in a will. Clearly it's the most important thing in a funeral.

People don't avoid end-of-life planning because they're lazy or disorganised. They avoid it because the systems are built for lawyers, not for humans. Departy removes the friction by separating the two processes.

Departy is not a will. You still need one of those – and a lawyer to draft it. Departy covers everything a will doesn't: your funeral song, what happens to your pets, who writes your obituary, which photos you want included. The stuff your family will agonise over if you don't write it down.

80% of my clients couldn't answer 20 questions about their will. 100% of them had an opinion on their funeral song.

About

Built by someone who's seen what happens when there's no plan.

I spent years in entertainment law watching smart, capable people completely freeze when asked to organise their end-of-life plans. Not because they didn't care – because the process felt too big, too formal, too much like admitting something they weren't ready to admit.

The existing tools are built for lawyers and financial advisers. Departy is built for the person who keeps meaning to sort this out but hasn't found a way in that doesn't feel like preparing for their own funeral while they're still very much alive.

This isn't about being morbid. It's the most organised, practical thing you can do for the people who'll have to manage without you. And it takes less time than you think.
