Description

All of us are going to die. It's a fundamental, tragic, romantic part of what it is to be human. But the services that should be supporting us haven't changed in decades.

From writing your will to planning a funeral, the way we deal with death is formal, complicated and expensive. Instead of feeling supported, people feel lost.

But it doesn't need to be this way. We started Farewill to make the experience warmer, brighter and friendlier.

We're the UK's biggest will writer and one of the leading funeral companies in the country. Our generous customers have pledged over £970 million to charities, through donations left in their wills.

We're backed by top investors who are as excited by our mission as we are, and we've won awards for the work we've done. But there's a lot more to do.

From there, this person will onboard those customers, and facilitate a smooth handover to our Funeral Operations team.

Customers First

People put their trust in us at some of the toughest moments in their lives. Because it's so important, their needs are front and centre in everything we do.

Make it simple

Death is overwhelming and complicated. So we put time and effort into communicating clearly.We believe in the power of simplicity - it's rocket fuel for progress.

Move with urgency and focus

Focus is gold dust. 80% of execution issues come from the lack of it - so we keep the goal in sight. And when the time for action comes, we go for it with maximum energy, passion and drive.

Sweat the details

We make the effort to really know our stuff and do the little things well. We value the expertise in each of our roles and are committed to producing surprisingly great work.

We're all owners here - custodians of our customers, brand, products and culture. We expect everyone to take ownership and drive positive change. When we see a way to improve, we make it happen.

Be kind, have fun, celebrate the wins

Life is short, and mostly about who you spend it with.We work hard, and though it's sometimes stressful and challenging, you'll find yourself alongside other enthusiastic, kind, dedicated people here.
