FROM A FUNERAL DIRECTOR

The One Thing Every Family Should Put in One Place

A will can explain who receives your assets. It does not tell your family how to find the everyday information they need to actually settle anything.

In 21 years, I keep seeing the same problem. Families often know the information exists. They just do not know where to start looking for it.

The issue is not whether the information exists. It is whether somebody else can find it.

Scattered Information Creates Work at the Worst Time

Most households already have the pieces. The problem is that those pieces live in different drawers, apps, inboxes and devices. When somebody else has to step in, even basic tasks can turn into a chain of searches, calls and verification steps.
You may already have a note with your most-used passwords. You may have paperwork filed at home and a few important contacts saved in your phone. That is a useful start. It is still different from leaving one known place another person can actually work from.
01

Locked Devices

Important accounts may depend on a phone passcode, Face ID, an authenticator app or another device.

02

Verification Codes

A password opens the first door. The code that opens the second one is often sent somewhere your family cannot reach.

03

Scattered Information

Accounts, subscriptions, contacts, paperwork and personal wishes can all live in completely different places.

The families who struggle most are not always the families who failed to plan. They are often the families who cannot find or access the plan.
Anna Reid Funeral director, 21 years

In 21 years I have sat with families who had done everything right, and still could not get into a single account.

THE MISSING PIECE

What Most Families Already Have, and What They Also Need

A will, a password note and paperwork at home can all be useful. The missing piece is often the route between them. Your family also needs to know what exists, where it is, who to contact and which device or verification step connects to the next one.

WHAT MOST FAMILIES ALREADY HAVE

  • A list of passwords
  • A will
  • Paperwork filed at home
  • Important files somewhere at home

WHAT THEY ALSO NEED

  • Device and verification access
  • Account and payment details
  • Important contacts and instructions
  • One known place that connects it all

One known place turns scattered information into a starting point.

THE TURNING POINT

That Is Where Lamorial Comes In

There are a few products built for exactly this. The one I keep recommending is a physical planner rather than an app.

Lamorial gives you 83 guided pages to write down the details your family may need, from accounts and paperwork to access information, contacts and personal wishes. One physical place, no app, no login, no subscription.

  • Everything important organized in one place
  • Guided prompts so you know what to write down
  • A physical format your family can find

INSIDE THE PLANNER

The 83 Pages, and What Goes on Them

The planner is organized around the practical details another person may need to find, use or update. It covers the access chain, account information, household paperwork, recurring payments, important contacts, personal wishes and a simple upkeep habit so the book can stay current.
01

Device Access

Phone passcodes, verification methods and recovery routes.

02

Accounts and Payments

Banking, cards, and the account details your family may need.

03

Household Paperwork

Where the important paperwork is kept, and who to contact about it.

04

Important Contacts

People and professionals your family may need to reach.

05

Subscriptions and Bills

Recurring services, memberships and payments that may need attention.

06

Personal Wishes

Instructions, personal notes and the details you do not want left unsaid.

07

Built to Be Corrected

Codes change, cards get replaced, phones get upgraded. Fill it in pencil, or keep the digital edition alongside it, and correct a line when something moves.

PHYSICAL BY DESIGN

Why It Is a Book and Not an App

The best system is the one your family knows exists and can actually open when they need it. A physical planner does not depend on a platform staying active, a subscription being paid or a login route being remembered by somebody else.
What matters A digital-only system Lamorial
Getting inNeeds a login somebody has to knowOpens in your hands
VerificationOften needs a code sent to a phoneNothing to verify
Cost over timeOften a subscription that has to keep being paidBought once
Being foundYour family has to know the platform existsSits where your family already looks
Who controls itA company you do not controlYou do
If it is lostAccess can be difficult to recoverWrite a second copy, keep it elsewhere
THE OBJECTION

Is One Place Safe?

A book can only be opened by somebody standing in your house. An account can be opened from anywhere on earth by anybody who has the route in.

The point is not to hide the information. It is to make sure the people you trust can reach it.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You Are Not Organizing This for Yourself

You are doing it so the people closest to you are not forced to search through drawers, inboxes, phones and paperwork while trying to handle everything else. The practical gift is not more information. It is a clearer starting point.

The page, password or document may already exist. What helps is putting the route to those things somewhere another person knows to look.

  • Less uncertainty
  • Less searching
  • Clearer next steps
  • One known place for important information
Preparation is most useful when your family can actually understand and access what you prepared.
Anna Reid Funeral director, 21 years

I have never once met a family who wished they had less written down.

THE COST OF NOT KNOWING

Confusion Creates Work at the Worst Time

The cost is not only money. It is time spent figuring out what is active, where documents live, which account controls a payment and who has the next piece of information. Small gaps create more work precisely when nobody wants another task.
01
Bills and Subscriptions

Bills and subscriptions can continue while family members try to work out what is active.

02
Account Recovery

Trying to prove access or locate information across multiple services can take repeated calls and verification steps.

03
Lost Information

Photos, documents and important details can become difficult to locate later.

04
Unnecessary Guessing

Your family is left making decisions without knowing where you kept the information they need.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions people usually ask before deciding whether a physical planner fits their household.
Keep it somewhere private and easy for the right person to locate. The important part is that the person you trust knows where it is.
The physical planner stays with you. What you write in the book is not stored by the book on an online platform.
No. Lamorial is an organization tool. It does not replace legal documents or professional advice.
No. It is useful from the first section. Most people start with the accounts they use every day and add to it over time. There is no point at which it has to be finished to be worth having.
You can organize shared household information together, or keep separate copies if that is easier for your household.
Yes. Codes change, cards get replaced and phones get upgraded. Update a line whenever something moves.
