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.
Safe notification of passing
When the time comes, Away Message notifies everyone you chose — so your family can grieve without also being the ones to deliver the hardest news of their lives. No calls to make. No words to find. Now they can grieve in peace.
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.
Opt-in memorial service arrangements
Once your family confirms the details of your service, Away Message automatically notifies everyone — so your loved ones can focus on showing up instead of coordinating. You thought of everything. Now they can grieve in peace.

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.”
