End of Life Tools Editorial Team
Editorial Team
End of Life Tools is run by a small team of writers and researchers in the United States. We are not funeral directors, attorneys, financial advisors, or other individually licensed professionals, and nothing on this site is professional, legal, medical, or financial advice. We write by reading and citing primary public sources — U.S. government agencies such as the FTC, Social Security Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, and IRS, along with publicly available state laws and published industry data — and we link to those sources so readers can verify the information themselves. Always confirm details with a qualified professional and the relevant agency before making decisions for your own situation.
Areas of focus
How we work
Our approach
Every article and guide on End of Life Tools is researched using primary sources: U.S. government agencies such as the FTC, the Social Security Administration, and the VA, the National Funeral Directors Association, and publicly available state laws and records.
We cite our sources directly so readers can verify the information independently. When regulations, pricing, or procedures change, we revisit our content and note when a page was last updated.
We are not a funeral home, a law firm, or an insurance company, and no vendor can pay for favorable coverage in our guides. Our content is written to inform, not to sell.
