After a loss

A practical checklist for the days after someone dies.

Start with urgent decisions, then move through documents, care providers, accounts, memorials, and estate tasks in an order that does not ask the family to solve everything at once.

11 guided tasks

4 sections, one clear path

Each task includes timing, owner, next action, and a path into the right rip.com tool or guide.

Starter intake

Answer four questions, then use the checklist.

Save the immediate context so the after-loss checklist can start with the right first steps.

What was their name?

Use the name you want the checklist to show. A first name is enough.

Who were they to you?

This helps us tune language and ownership of tasks.

What state are you handling this in?

State-specific guidance will come later; for now this saves context.

Where did the death occur?

This changes the first calls and transportation steps.

What has already been handled?

Choose anything already done so the checklist can start in the right place.
