We met through work and never really stopped working together, or showing up for each other. We've lived a lot of life side by side. We've both lost a parent. That shapes how you think about what care actually looks like.
When you lose someone, you're already carrying everything. The process around it -- the decisions, the coordination, the cost conversations -- should be clear, unhurried, and built around who that person actually was. It rarely is. It's opaque when it should be transparent. It's one-size-fits-all when nothing about grief is. And if you want something that actually reflects your person, you end up planning it yourself, in the worst days of your life.
January is our answer to that.
January is named for two people we lost before we started this. Jan was Alyssa's mom. The kind of person who would quietly do something for you before you thought to ask, and make you feel completely seen while she did it. Two days after she died, a box arrived at the door. Plates and silverware she'd ordered for her own celebration of life. That was Jan.
John was Liz's dad. Curious about everything, happiest when he was building something, out on the water, or working on a car or motorcycle. He was playful, warm, and always known as the life of the party.
We both know what it means to lose someone who was fully, wonderfully themselves. We carry that into everything we do.
The name also borrows from Janus , the Roman god of transitions. The one who looks in both directions at once. Backward and forward. Grief and what comes next. Standing in that space is exactly what this work is.
The music, the setting, the way the day flows -- we start with who they were and build from there. That might mean a playlist they loved, a venue that felt like them, or a ceremony that takes its time. We don't have a template. We have a process that starts with you telling us about the person.
When someone dies, there's a lot to figure out quickly -- and that shouldn't fall entirely on the people who are grieving hardest. We take on the coordination, the vendor calls, the logistics, so you can stay present with the people around you. You make the decisions. We handle the rest.
You'll know what's included, what it costs, and what happens next before you commit to anything. We put our pricing online because we think you deserve to make informed decisions without having to ask. No hidden fees, no upsells in a vulnerable moment, no fine print.
Most people aren't when they first reach out. A conversation doesn't commit you to anything.
