The Death Dispatch
The death email you'll actually look forward to opening. Weekly. Honest. Never a euphemism.
No spam. Unsubscribe any time.
What to Expect
A long-form piece we wrote, or a story we think you need to read.
A state law changed, a court ruled, or a policy shifted. We tell you what it means for you.
Something you can actually do this week. A form to fill out. A conversation to have. A document to find.
A real question from a real reader, answered without the runaround.
Before You Subscribe
Sunday mornings, once a week. Death doesn't take a week off and neither do we, but your inbox gets exactly one email. No daily drips, no surprise mid-week sends.
Four things, every issue: one deep read worth your time, one law or policy change explained in plain English, one practical thing you can do that week, and one real reader question answered straight. It reads in about five minutes and never pretends death is a lifestyle brand.
No. The Death Dispatch is free, and if a future issue ever carries a sponsor, it will be clearly labeled as one. Nobody who pays us gets to touch what we write, which is a promise the whole site runs on.
How MORTL makes money →No. The newsletter and the free planning dashboard are separate. Subscribe with just an email and you'll get every issue; make an account only if you want the planning tools.
One click at the bottom of any issue, effective immediately. No exit survey, no guilt trip, no are-you-sure gauntlet. Come back whenever, or don't.
