For the people you love
Here's what you're giving them.
Setting this up today is one of the most thoughtful things you'll ever do. Here's what your people will actually receive.
Secure delivery of your Away Messages.
They'll hear your voice whenever they need you. Not just once. Not just at the service. Whenever they're missing you, your words, your laugh, the things only you would say. It's there. Stored securely, forever, with unlimited replays.
We handle the hardest part.
When the time comes, Away Message notifies everyone you chose, so your family isn't stuck making calls or repeating the news. Once your memorial details are confirmed, we send those too. Now they can grieve in peace, not in chaos.
The Who Gets What.
A place to name who gets your things. Your cast iron skillet. Grandma's ring she left you. The family recipe nobody wrote down. The things that are valuable to you, but may not be considered an “asset.” It's not a will. It's Away.
Going Away Party.
Want to pre-plan your own celebration of life as another gift to your family? We're building a way for you to design every detail, the music, the people, the feel of the room. A final gift that says: I took care of it.

About the Founder
“I built Away Message because I know what it's like to lose someone's voice. My mother passed when I was 13. With every year, her voice grew fainter.
I'd give anything to hear her laugh or even just say my name again, because I've forgotten how both sound.
Away Message is what I wish she'd had. And what I'm building for myself, so the people I love will always have something to hold onto.”
