Legacy Starts with a Conversation

Legacy: how we live, connect, prepare, and remember.

Legacy is more than what we leave behind—it’s how we live, how we love, and how we share what matters most with the people closest to us.

At Alive, we believe legacy begins with a conversation. The stories we tell, the memories we create, and the wishes we share all shape the experience of those we love—both now and in the future.

Tools to Help You Begin

Talking about the future—especially end-of-life wishes—can feel difficult. But these conversations are one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your loved ones. We offer resources to help you take that first step and guide meaningful conversations with the people you love.

GIFT Initiative

Advance care planning is the process of sharing your values, preferences, and wishes so that your care reflects what matters most to you. It helps ensure your voice is heard and gives your loved ones peace of mind knowing they are honoring your wishes.

Alive’s GIFT Initiative advance care planning kit, provides you with the all of the tools and guidance to help you prepare.

Our Legacy Conversation Cards are designed to make starting the conversation easier. Through thoughtful prompts, they help you explore what matters most and share those reflections with your loved ones.
