🕯 My Porchlight

What if a goodbye done right could happen — and your family could just be together?

For $200, it can. Someone steady does the calls and the comparing, so your family can just be together.

The step-by-step pricingTypical 200 credits

Everything taken care of: 200 credits (≈ $200 — 1 credit ≈ $1)

— Porchlight's legwork, handled: ~4 hours of calls, comparing, and follow-up, so there's room for room to grieve

  • The comparison nobody wants to make — Compare funeral homes & pricing 125 cr
    Creates: Estimate Comparison Record — saved in your Home Base
  • The arrangements — Book services & appointments 25 cr
    Creates: Booking Confirmation — saved in your Home Base
  • The plan itself — A one-hour planning session with your assistant 50 cr
    Creates: Decision & Action Plan — saved in your Home Base

Every project is a ready-made sequence of Porchlight services. Not ready to hand it all over? Start by doing it yourself or by handing off one step you choose — and your records, contacts, decisions, confirmations, and documents stay together in your Home Base. Plus the $9.99/mo membership that keeps your whole household organized.

Every step runs on a standard worksheet — you see exactly what we'll ask, and exactly what you'll get back in writing, before anyone starts.

My Porchlight fractional family assistants share your mental load by helping with planning and coordination tasks — service providers (contractors, venues, pros) will charge their own fees directly. My Porchlight is an independent company and is sponsor-free, which means you get an unbiased recommendation every time. Read about our transparency and other pledges here.
