EverAfter was inspired by founder Brady Rust’s grandfather, Ron Schroeder, who spent 40 years as a dedicated mortician and funeral director. Ron shared that one of the most challenging parts of his work was supporting grieving families who had to make tough, often overwhelming decisions due to a lack of prior planning. Pain and complications arise when loved ones are left without a will, unaware of assets, policies, or even basic access information such as passwords or combinations. Determined to address these issues, EverAfter started on a mission to increase the number of folks planning ahead, improve the grieving process, and minimize unnecessary burdens for survivors by empowering individuals to plan their funerals, create wills, and leave heartfelt messages for loved ones. Using advanced technology, platform engineering, and AI-driven chatbot support, EverAfter streamlines the entire planning process, providing a secure, centralized space for end-of-life documentation and communication. By removing barriers to planning and simplifying the process, EverAfter is making it easier for people to take responsibility for their legacy, ultimately easing the emotional burden on families and enhancing the grieving process.

With a career rooted in Tech, Brady Rust saw an opportunity to leverage technology to simplify and change how end-of-life planning happens. Prior to EverAfter, he's built data analytics capabilities for NeoGenomics, the nation’s largest cancer reference laboratory, supported Fortune 500 Enterprises and governments at Teradata, and became Employee #5 at Space and Time, the world’s first decentralized database. Insights from his grandfather's funeral home business combined with experience in data and platform engineering, led him to create EverAfter—a platform that leverages technology, AI, and secure data systems to streamline legacy planning and make it accessible to all. Through EverAfter, Brady is fulfilling a mission to help individuals take charge of their legacy, increasing the number of people who plan ahead, and easing the emotional burden on families.
