Live with no regrets. Your memorial celebration should be exactly what you want. Don’t leave the burden and guesswork to someone else.
Times of stress like death can cause a great deal of tension and conflict among families and others left behind. There’s little worse than going through the death of a loved one with no idea of what they wanted for their funeral. Planning ahead helps relieve the burden.
Using our easy planning tools, you can ensure you’re remembered exactly as you want. Let’s start with the celebration. What song do you want played? Favorite pictures you want displayed? Poems or letters you’d like read? Your celebration should represent your wishes.
Studies have shown that when someone dies, survivors want to spend more money on the funeral than the loved one would have wanted. Planning ahead can save the extra expense. And a good time to plan is when you are healthy and well.
We’ve made the planning experience simple and something you can do together as a family. In fact, many members have told us it was a joyful and memorable experience. Helping a parent or loved one create their plan can give you both lasting memories and peace of mind.

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.
