After a loss, there are 150+ decisions and tasks worthy of a part time job. Bereave gives employees and their families a shared workspace to get through it — a benefit they'll remember forever.
Time off and counseling matter. But they're only the start.
Bereave covers what your policy and EAP leave out.
Most companies have a policy. Almost none have a plan. See the ROI math →
Bereave is the software benefit that guides employees and their families through loss — step-by-step after-loss checklists, shared family plans, AfterNotes, and grief navigation, from day one through the year that follows.
Step-by-step guidance through banks, accounts, estates, funeral planning, insurance, mail and more. Instead of a search spiral, employees see the next right step.
Employees can invite up to five family members, assign tasks and track progress together, so one person doesn't carry the entire burden.
Most people have legal documents. Almost nobody has written down the 150–200 choices their family will still face: flowers or donations, music, insurance contacts, who to call first and everything in between.
AfterNotes walks employees through those choices gently, one at a time, and lets them share the answers with the people who will need them.
3 family membersA support library organized by relationship and stage, from executor guidance and probate to books, podcasts and local support groups.
Employees can access funeral planning guidance, a 15-minute estate settlement consultation and trusted vendors with discounts.
Bereave is practical support for a life event that touches every workforce. Employees feel less alone, families share the load, and your company shows up with more than a policy or an EAP number.
Every employee has someone they love. Loss support is not a niche benefit.
One trusted place to divide responsibilities and move forward together.
The hardest weeks of someone's life shape how they remember their employer.
Bereave fills the gap between leave, policy, EAP, and mental health support.
Every employer will eventually support an employee through the death of a loved one. Bereave gives HR and managers a repeatable response plan with policies, playbooks, communication guidance and return-to-work support—so no one has to figure it out alone.
Scripts for the first conversation, check-in guidance that doesn't intrude and thoughtful return-to-work plans.
Coordinate every loss the same way with cases, customizable playbooks, policy guidance and rollout templates.
Show that support is reaching people and prove value without waiting for a tragedy to justify the benefit.

From the employees using Bereave to the people leaders putting it in place, the difference is simple: people know where to turn.
Recently, we supported an employee who lost their son. With Bereave, we were able to quickly provide the right resources, which made a significant difference. It reassured the employee that their company truly had their best interests in mind.
“...getting us access to Bereave made me really stop and pause to take the time to reach out to him. Plus I felt a bit more equipped to do so. Thanks for all you are doing and for helping me be a better HR leader today.”
I just set up my profile and wasn't sure what to expect. I was genuinely impressed by the thoughtful resources and structured services. It's comforting to know they are available.
It's a lighthouse for them while they are sailing through the storm of grief.
With Bereave, we have a go-to platform that addresses all our needs.
Bereave is one of those platforms that solves real problems. I'd give it a 15/10.
Grief is the one life event with a 100% participation rate. The question isn't whether your employees will need support. It's whether it will be there when they do.
