See How It Works

A real scenario, start to finish.

The Goldstein family loses their matriarch, Rose.
Here's how the community comes together.

Rose's listing appears

Rose Goldstein passes away in Toronto. Within hours, her obituary is automatically pulled from the funeral home and appears on Neshama.

No one has to post it. No one has to search five different websites. It's just there.

Beyond the meals

Friends leave tributes on Rose's memorial page. A year later, Neshama sends a gentle yahrzeit reminder so the community can mark the anniversary together.

The connection doesn't end when shiva does.
