About this episode

Effie Anolik shares her journey from personal loss to founding a company that innovates funeral arrangements using AI.

When Effie's dad died in 2018, she had no idea what to do other than Google "how to plan a funeral." Her journey led her to start Afterword a company that has now expanded into AI assisted funeral arrangements that earned them the 2025 National Funeral Directors Association Innovation Award.
