Our Story

We know what you’re thinking —“Why would I want to plan my own funeral?”

We learned the importance first hand when Nancy’s husband, John, died of cancer at 53 years old. Nancy had no idea what he wanted because he didn’t want to talk to about it. Her friends and family helped plan a great end-of-life celebration for an incredible husband and father of three. After that experience we wondered if it would’ve been easier if he had a place he could’ve gone online to record those thoughts — that’s when My Wonderful Life was born.

Since 2009, My Wonderful Life has grown to be one of the largest online funeral planning sites in the world. Our goal was to make it an experience that is easy and inspiring — a goal we continue to work towards today — and have added new features like saving photos and videos, writing letters to loved ones, and much more.
