About Us

Farewell With Grace is an organization led by a board of directors and managed by Executive Director Lisa Mason, who takes care of the daily operations. We're supported by a wonderful group of volunteers who share our vision of providing families in need with the chance to give their loved ones a dignified farewell.

We endeavor to secure funding from various sources such as private foundations, government grants, and individual donations. We also request contributions in the form of services from funeral homes, cemeteries, and other service providers. Additionally, we negotiate with funeral homes to offer funeral and burial services at cost.

During the difficult time of losing a loved one, it is important to make some challenging decisions about how to honor them and provide a proper burial or cremation. Farewell With Grace (FWG) provides helpful advice on what to do within the first 48 hours after the passing of your loved one.

The genesis of Farewell With Grace can be traced back to a deeply personal experience that ignited a spark of compassion and resilience within our founder. Having personally encountered the heart-wrenching loss of multiple cherished family members within a short period, our founder found herself facing the daunting challenge of covering burial costs. Resorting to crowdfunding to alleviate the financial burden, she became acutely aware of the shared struggles faced by countless families who grappled with emotional anguish alongside financial strain.

A Helping Hand Turns into an Organization: Driven by a profound empathy for those grappling with similar hardships, our founder decided to extend a helping hand to another family in a similar predicament. Witnessing firsthand the positive impact of her assistance, she realized the potential to make a lasting difference in the lives of families facing the unthinkable. Thus, Farewell With Grace was born, evolving from a single act of kindness into a blossoming organization that has grown exponentially in its reach and impact.

Financial Support and Beyond: At Farewell With Grace, our mission extends far beyond financial assistance. While we recognize the pressing need to provide families with the means to cover funeral expenses, we also understand the depth of emotional turmoil that accompanies such profound loss. As a pillar of support, we offer a wide range of services designed to provide solace, including emotional support and counseling. Our compassionate community serves as a haven of love, hope, and healing for those who have endured the unimaginable.

A Community United by Love and Resilience: Farewell With Grace is more than just an organization; it is a community built upon the foundations of love, empathy, and the shared experience of navigating the complexities of grief. We believe in fostering an environment where individuals can find comfort, strength, and understanding amidst their pain. By providing both financial assistance and emotional support, we strive to help families find solace, heal, and rebuild their lives in the face of loss.

The inception of Farewell With Grace emerged from a deeply personal journey, inspiring our founder to create an organization that offers financial assistance, emotional support, and a compassionate community to those in need. We stand as a beacon of hope, extending a helping hand and a listening ear to all who have endured the unimaginable, reminding them they are never alone on their path to healing.
