Some Things Should Be Said While You’re Still Here.

When you want to share the most important words they'll remember, the hardest part is often knowing how to begin.

That’s where we come in.

Hi. I'm Christel.

Rooted in the Latin phrase "to life," the Ad Vitam Agency builds compassionate and highly personalized legacy letters, obituaries, and eulogies with your collaboration and input.

And because we've also experienced unexpected losses, we also offer expedited options for loved ones.


"You do what? Who does that? Why?!"

You are not the first and you will not be the last.
Quick answers to these most popular questions:

  1. We help you find the words that matter most, when it matters most, to be shared with those you love the most;
  2. Experts with the exact skills needed to help you, and
  3. Blame my parents.

You can read the extended responses that make more sense, along with curated, helpful resources for you and your loved ones, in our free monthly newsletter.

Did we mention we also write an extremely entertaining and incredibly informative newsletter?

It's about death.

"A Monthly Newsletter About WHAT? Are you sure about this? Really sure?"

Yes. Yes, we are.

Just as we are sure that our free newsletter is also very much about life and living it to the fullest.

But we won't shy away from reality. Our physical bodies are not currently made to last forever.

Your legacy can live on in other ways. We prefer using words here at Ad Vitam, but there are other options. We'll include those in the first newsletter you'll receive.

At the very least, it won't be boring. That's a promise.
