The Story of HereAfter
Our journey began with a personal story of love, loss, and the pursuit of lasting connections. Founders Kurt and Laura Elkins were inspired to create HereAfter following the sudden loss of a beloved family member. This life-changing event sparked a realization about the profound importance of leaving something meaningful behind – a comforting token for those we love.
At HereAfter, our mission is simple yet profound: to provide a secure and heartfelt way for individuals to communicate with their loved ones, even after they have passed away. We believe in the power of words and memories to bring solace, healing, and a sense of continued presence. Our goal is to ensure that your voice, your stories, and your essence can be felt by your loved ones, offering them a unique gift of comfort and connection.
Kurt’s artistic vision combined with Laura’s background in law enforcement has given HereAfter a unique edge. We focus on simplicity, security, and genuine human connection. We envision a world where the end of life doesn’t mean the end of bonds. Our platform is designed not just as a tool for communication, but as a means to preserve legacies, share wisdom, and express undying affection. It’s not just about preparing for the unexpected; it’s about creating a lasting expression of your life, love, and legacy.


HereAfter Vision and Values
Our vision is to provide a secure platform where individuals can preserve, share, and discover life stories, and, most importantly, the words and messages of those who have passed away.
We understand the value of privacy and security, especially when it comes to personal messages of the heart. In a world where tomorrow is not guaranteed, HereAfter serves as a bridge between today and the unknown future. Our commitment is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your thoughts, love, and legacy will be delivered to those who matter most to you, exactly when they need it the most.
