We offer independent living communities a gentle, educational workshop that helps families plan for the critical moments after death with more clarity and less confusion.
This easy to book and easy to run, 60-minute workshop was built for Activities and Life Enrichment Directors who want meaningful programming without the pressure.

About First 24:
First 24 was created to help families make a clear, loving plan for the first 24 hours after a death. In a time when people are often overwhelmed, grieving, and unsure what to do next, First 24 offers calm guidance, practical steps, and a simple framework that brings clarity to a difficult moment. The goal is to reduce stress, prevent confusion, and help families move through the first hours with a little more peace and a lot less chaos.
