Neshama is free.
And it always will be.

Every family deserves to know when someone in their community has passed away. That is why Neshama will never put obituaries behind a paywall, charge for meal coordination, or gate access to our trusted partners.

But keeping this service running takes real resources. And right now, it is sustained by the people who care about it most.

$18
per year — one chai

In Jewish tradition, the number 18 represents chai — life. When we give in multiples of 18, we extend a blessing: may there be life, may there be goodness.

Your support is not a transaction. It is an act of communal care — a way of saying that remembering our loved ones matters, and that this work is worth sustaining.
