We succeed
when you do.

AfterLife guides families through everything that follows a death and introduces them to vetted independent local firms. Joining is free. You pay only when a family has paid you.

570,700 people die in England and Wales each year. Each death starts close to £10,000 of spending across as many as 45 trades, most of it in the first weeks, when a family is pressed to choose with no real chance to compare.

AfterLife organises that journey from the family’s side, and sends the work to independent firms like yours.

How an introduction reaches you

  1. The family tells us what it needs. Our free guided journey turns every answer into a task on the family’s list.
  2. We show vetted local firms. The family chooses. Payment never affects the order.
  3. You take it from there. You quote your usual price and contract with the family directly.

What you never pay for

  • A listing, a click, a view or an enquiry
  • Your existing clients
  • VAT, agreed pass-through costs and refunds
  • A higher place in the list. What a partner pays never decides the order families see.

Independent firms only

We will not list a national chain or a conglomerate-owned branch, in any trade or any area.

The chains already route families to their own branches and their own legal services. AfterLife gives independents the same reach. The rule is written into every agreement and checked at vetting.
