Who This Is For
How It Works
We send you a beautiful stationery kit with guided prompts. Write at your own pace, in your own hand.
Seal your letters and mail them back in the prepaid envelope. We never open your letters — ever.
Your letters are stored in our climate-controlled, fireproof vault. Each year, we check in to keep everything current.
When the time comes, we verify and deliver your letters with care, dignity, and a personal touch.
I would give anything to have one more letter from my mother, in her own handwriting. Just one.
— A sentiment shared by so many
What Makes Us Different
Digital messages feel disposable. A handwritten letter is a keepsake that lives on a nightstand, in a drawer, and in someone's heart.
Your letters are stored in a climate-controlled, fireproof vault — not on a hard drive that could crash or a company that could fold.
We require proof of passing and human review before any letter is released. No algorithms. No accidental deliveries.
We're not a tech startup chasing growth. We're a trust-first service built for permanence. Your letters could be with us for decades, and we plan for that.

Questions
Never. Your letters remain sealed from the moment you mail them to us until they arrive in the hands of your chosen recipient. No exceptions.
You'll receive a retrieval document with a unique code. Leave it with your will, attorney, or someone you trust. They enter the code on our site and upload verification. We also run annual check-ins and monitor public records as a backup.
Your letters, your rules. Add new ones, update recipient addresses, or retrieve letters anytime through your account.
As long as your account is active. We hold letters indefinitely — even if a payment lapses, we keep your letters safe during a generous grace period and never destroy them.
Our annual check-in asks you to verify recipient addresses. If a letter can't be delivered, we work with your trigger contact and use professional address-finding services to locate the recipient.
We're developing a formal business continuity plan to ensure your letters are never abandoned. In the event of any ownership transition, customers will be notified at least 90 days in advance.
Anyone who has the customer's unique retrieval code and can provide verified proof of passing.
A certified death certificate or a published obituary from a recognized source.
Yes. Your letters are always yours. Contact us and we'll return them via tracked, insured mail.
Your words carry more weight than you know. Write them down. We'll keep them safe. And when the time comes, we'll make sure they arrive.
Have questions before you trust us with something this personal? We'd love to hear from you.
