Our Story

Kris and his father in law

Built Out of Grief 
and Experience

When Kris lost his father-in-law, he found himself overwhelmed with settlement responsibilities and little guidance. He knew there had to be a better way. That experience inspired End of an Era so families like yours never have to go through it alone.
