together, we are learning to face mortality
At Here to Honor, we believe that death, as a shared human experience, can be approached with hope and togetherness.
“Teach us to number our days, so that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Since our founding in 2020, Here to Honor envisions the end of life as a journey that can actually lead to stronger relationships and richer engagement in the present.
We believe that death, as a shared human experience, can be approached with hope and togetherness.
As a social enterprise, we are a company driven by our mission: to cultivate community around end-of-life learning so that everyone feels supported in facing mortality and equipped to make informed decisions.
We do this by offering in-person and online teaching and training that address practical, relational, and spiritual concerns and needs around end of life. We also regularly host social events that help normalize talking about death.

COMMUNITY EVENT
Minding our Mortality Book Club
AUGUST 4, 2026
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Neighbor, 176 9th Ave., NYC
Minding our Mortality Book Club provides opportunities for conversations and connections around topics of death, mortality and grief through selected readings and quarterly gatherings.
For our May Book Club meetup, we will be discussing Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle.
A brief description of this fictional read is excerpted from Goodreads below:
Konstantin Duhovny is a haunted man. His father died when he was ten, and ghosts have been hovering around Kostya ever since. Kostya can’t exactly see the ghosts, but he can taste their favorite foods. Flavors of meals he’s never eaten will flood his mouth, a sign that a spirit is present. Kostya has kept these aftertastes a secret for most of his life, but one night, he decides to act on what he’s tasting. And everything changes.
