Draft:Buried in Work

Submission declined on 4 November 2024 by Qcne (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Buried in Work’s mission is to make these topics more accessible, engaging, and manageable for individuals, families, and organizations. The company is known for its innovative approach, including gamified estate planning tools, customized facilitation services, and educational resources.

History

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. His inspiration came from a deeply personal experience involving his family, which led to the creation of the company’s flagship card game, One More Story. 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.
