Aftering is a mobile app that transforms the way we engage with death. Designed for younger generations, it reframes end-of-life planning as an act of emotional healing and creative self-expression. Users can customize their urn, select burial preferences, write final messages, and curate a funeral playlist. The app also offers a remote mourning feature, allowing users who live far from home to honor loved ones virtually. Inspired by my grandfather’s sudden death and cultural taboos around discussing death, Aftering encourages young people to face mortality with reflection, agency, and peace.
