The company offers a range of products and services aimed at simplifying the often complex and emotionally challenging processes of estate organization, financial planning, and end-of-life decision-making.

History
[edit]Buried in Work was founded by Adam Zuckerman, who envisioned an approachable way to address complex topics around estate planning and end-of-life preparation.

This game encourages storytelling as a means to capture memories and facilitate family bonding.
Over time, Buried in Work expanded its offerings to include other interactive tools and resources, such as the CLEAR Kit for estate organization and Nothing Left Unsaid, a card game aimed at easing conversations about end-of-life wishes. The company has also created a vendor marketplace focused on grief support products, memorial items, and end-of-life planning materials.
