January will help families plan direct cremation and personal celebrations of life, bringing clarity and care to something that’s too often confusing, impersonal, and harder than it should be.
Direct cremation is a simple way to arrange cremation without holding a formal service right away. We’ll guide you through each step with care, transparency, and steady support.
On the day itself, everything comes together — the people, the place, the moments that feel like them. We’ll make sure it reflects who they were and what they meant to you.

We started January because we’ve seen how hard this part can be. After more than a decade of helping people through loss (and experiencing it ourselves) we kept seeing the same thing: families asked to make big decisions fast, without clear information or meaningful support.
With January, we’re building something better: an honest, uncomplicated way to plan cremations and celebrations with guidance families can actually trust.
We know this isn’t easy, and we don’t take your trust lightly. Our promise is simple: we’ll show up every step of the way with clarity, care, and honesty.


We’ll walk with you through each step from the first call to the day you gather to celebrate their life.
When you’re ready, we’ll talk through what matters most: who you’re honoring, what feels right, and how we can help. It’s a short call to start finding your way forward.
After our call, we’ll gather a few details. Things like timing, location, and any ideas you already have. There’s no rush or right way to do it. We’ll guide you through, and take care of the rest.
On the day itself, everything comes together — the people, the place, the moments that feel like them. We’ll make sure it reflects who they were and what they meant to you.


We’re getting ready to open soon. Here’s what to expect and how we’ll help we're live.
We’ll begin serving families in the Atlanta area in early 2026. Our first offering will be Celebration of Life planning, followed a few months later by Direct Cremation services.
Not yet. Our services aren’t live, but you can join our waitlist to stay updated and receive planning resources. We’ll reach out directly as soon as we begin booking families.
We’ll offer two connected services:
Direct cremation: a simple, supported cremation handled start to finish by licensed partners, with flat, all-inclusive pricing.
Celebration of life planning: help organizing a meaningful gathering — including venue coordination, vendor recommendations, timeline planning, and day-of guidance.You can use either service on its own or both together.
Traditional funeral homes often combine cremation, ceremony, and merchandise into large bundled packages. January separates what families actually need: transparent cremation and personal celebration planning, and delivers both with clarity, compassion, and fair pricing.
Direct cremation means the cremation happens without a traditional funeral service first. The person is respectfully transported from their place of passing to a licensed crematory. Their ashes are returned directly to the family, who can then plan a celebration on their own terms — at home, outdoors, or in a venue that feels right.
We’ll help you choose the right venue, coordinate with vendors (like florists, caterers, musicians, and celebrants), create a simple timeline for the day, and manage details so everything runs smoothly. You’ll have a clear budget and checklist from the start.
Our first families will be in metro Atlanta and nearby areas, with plans to expand to additional cities down the road.
Both services will have flat, transparent pricing. Direct Cremation will be offered at one all-inclusive rate; no hidden fees or surprise costs. Celebration of Life will include tiered packages with flat pricing, so you can choose the level of support that fits your needs, with the option to add or customize
as you go.
Join our waitlist at the bottom of this page. We’ll send updates on our launch date, early access for bookings, and planning resources you can use in the meantime.
We’ll let you know when January opens and share updates along the way.
