About This Directory

How provider listings work.

Providers come from public sources and provider submissions. Before a listing goes live, MORTL checks the provider's phone, business address, and working website. MORTL writes standard listing descriptions from that site. Sponsored Pro and Premium cards may include a provider-written bio. A provider without a working website isn’t listed.

A listing isn’t a recommendation, endorsement, guarantee, or referral.

MORTL checks a license only for estate attorneys: a lawyer the firm names has to show as active on the state’s official lawyer lookup before the listing goes up. MORTL doesn’t verify any provider’s disciplinary history, availability, or quality of service. Provider information can change after a listing is added.

Before hiring any provider, check their license with the state licensing board or professional authority, get pricing in writing, and confirm availability directly.

Know Someone Good?

Suggest a provider.

Worked with a funeral home, grief counselor, hospice, financial advisor, or death doula worth finding? Tell us who they are. It takes a minute and it's free.

Every suggestion gets the same check as the rest of the directory: we confirm the provider's phone and address against their own website before anything is listed.

Death doulas aren’t in the directory because no verifiable registry exists to check them against. You can still suggest one; submissions stay open.

Free. Before listing, we check every suggested provider's phone and address against their own website. Listing in this directory isn’t an endorsement by MORTL.

For Providers
