Mission

Clozure is the first end-of-life planning platform that pairs smart digital tools with real human concierge support. We help you organize your wishes, secure your most important documents, and make sure your family never has to guess what you wanted.

We exist because planning for the inevitable shouldn't be overwhelming, expensive, or something you keep putting off. With Clozure, it takes minutes — not months.

Clozure started with a simple question:

Why is it so hard for families to know what their loved ones actually wanted?

Our co-founders saw the problem from every angle — Chris from the world of storytelling and event production, Victoria from 35 years on the front lines of funeral service, and Zeke from building secure, scalable technology. They kept seeing the same thing: families in crisis, scrambling to make decisions with no guidance, no documents, and no plan.

So they built the platform they wished had existed — one that meets people where they are, walks them through the hard parts, and makes sure nothing gets left unsaid or undone.
