About DeathBox Guide
Our mission, purpose, and the story behind this resource.
Our Mission
The DeathBox Guide project was created with one clear mission: to empower individuals to take control of their personal documentation and create a system that provides clarity and peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones.
We believe that emergency preparedness and end-of-life planning shouldn't be complex, expensive, or dependent on subscription services. Instead, we advocate for a practical, physical solution that puts you in full control.

The Story Behind DeathBox Guide
This project began after several of our team members experienced the challenges of managing a loved one's affairs following their unexpected passing. The process of locating important documents, understanding financial accounts, and determining final wishes added unnecessary stress to an already difficult time.
We realized that many digital solutions exist, but they often come with subscription fees, privacy concerns, and accessibility issues. What if internet access is unavailable? What if passwords are lost? What if the service provider changes its terms or goes out of business?
The DeathBox concept was born from these concerns - a physical, tangible system that anyone can create, customize, and maintain without dependence on technology or third-party services.
Our Approach and Values
Independence
We believe in solutions that don't create dependencies. The DeathBox system is something you create and control - no subscriptions, no accounts, no third parties.
Accessibility
Our guides are designed to be usable by anyone, regardless of technical skill or financial resources. Emergency preparedness should be available to all.
Practicality
We focus on real-world solutions that actually work in emergency situations, not just in ideal circumstances with perfect technology.
Transparency
We clearly distinguish between information and product recommendations. When we do recommend products, we explain exactly why they're appropriate for this use.
