The Mezzo After Kit
Everything in one place, for the parts that are hardest to figure out alone.
The checklist and the message tool are free, and they always will be. This kit is for the deeper work: the calls, the paperwork, the words you have to find for people, and the year that follows. It's the folder I wish someone had handed me.
What's inside
Start here — how to use the kit, and what can wait.
The full checklist, printable — every phase from the first hours through the first year, with room to write.
Questions to ask the funeral home — price, timeline, burial, cremation, the service, and the questions families wish they'd asked.
A one-year calendar — the dates that will sneak up on you, and what tends to help.
Call log, fillable — every call you make and what they said, so you never repeat yourself.
Accounts and contacts tracker, fillable — the accounts, policies, people, and dates you'll need.
Who's handling what, fillable — a way to divide the work among family without anyone guessing.
Scripts for the hardest calls — what to say to banks, insurers, employers, Social Security, and collectors.
Obituary and eulogy templates — prompts and structure for when the words won't come.
Thank-you note templates — short, kind, and quick, because there are a lot of them.
The family sign-up sheet — a spreadsheet so friends can claim a meal, a ride, or an afternoon, and everyone can see what's covered.
