For those who believe
death deserves better.
Wake is a private community for practitioners, founders, and advocates shaping the future of death and dying.
Because work this meaningful is better together.
A professional community built on human connection
Wake came from a simple observation: the people doing the most interesting work in death and dying had no professional home to bring together their unique experience and perspective.
It’s a place to share ideas, ask better questions, and build alongside others who understand the complexity of this space. The community is small by design, with structured channels, collaborative sessions, and members who give as much as they get.
Members include:
Death doulas & end-of-life guides
Hospice & palliative care innovators
EOL entrepreneurs & founders
Funeral reformers & natural burial advocates
Policy advocates & researchers
Grief therapists & advocates
Memorial & legacy designers
Death-positive educators & storytellers
“As I began building in end-of-life planning, I realized there was no place to ask the kinds of questions this work requires.
I created Wake to be the kind of space I was looking for in this work, and hope it can be the same for you.”
- Courtney
