MORTL publishes plain guides to what happens when someone dies, when you're the one dying, and how to plan ahead. We're asking the people who do this work to put a quote under their own name.
Add your nameWhat MORTL is
A death media and information company. Free guides, tools and stories about what happens when someone dies, when you're the one dying, and how to plan ahead, for all 50 states and DC. The legal and practical pages cite statutes and official sources, and a person writes every page.
What we'd publish
One to three sentences from you, under your name, role and organization, with your headshot if you give one, inside a story or guide on the subject you know. We edit only for length, and you approve the edited quote before it goes live.
The terms
Contributors aren't paid. MORTL publishes no sponsored content: nobody pays to be in a story or a guide, so a quote is never an ad. You can withdraw your permission at any time by emailing hello@mortl.com, and we take the quote down.
Who we're asking.
People who sit with families on the worst day, and the ones who sort out the paperwork after. If that's you, we want your name next to what you know.
