Helping bereaved loved ones in Their Hardest Moments

At Remi’s Purpose, Inc., we are dedicated to supporting families and friends during life’s most difficult moments. We provide financial assistance and guidance to help cover final arrangements, from funerals and memorials to interments and cremations, easing the burden so families can focus on healing.

Why We Started

On June 7, 2019, our daughter, Remi Joan, passed away at just 16 weeks old. Losing her was the hardest moment of our lives. In our grief, we realized many families struggle not only with the pain of loss, but also with the financial burden of funeral and memorial costs.

With God’s guidance and the love we received from our community, we knew we had to help others the way we were helped. Remi’s Purpose was created to honor her life by supporting families during their hardest days, with compassion, faith, and practical assistance.

Through this painful journey, we realized how many families face not only grief but also the overwhelming financial burden of final arrangements. Inspired by God’s guidance and the love we received, Remi’s Purpose, Inc. was created to provide financial assistance and compassionate support, ensuring that every life is honored with dignity, and no family walks this path alone.

Stories of Comfort and Support

Families share how Remi’s Purpose has touched their lives during the hardest times.

Got some sleep today and woke up to a beautiful message from Ashley with Remi's Purpose, Inc. they are going to the funeral home and paying $500 towards Tyler’s cremation! How insanely kind! If you are ever looking for an organization to support this is truly a blessing in a time of darkness!!!

Dear Ashley – I don’t even know how to thank you for your generous donation towards my Moms funeral expenses. What an awesome way to demonstrate Remi’s purpose. In my eulogy for my mom, I had mentioned the meaning of angels + their wings. I am certain that Remi has her angel wings… her wings exemplify purity, innocence, virtue, + strength. Remi’s wings are protecting us + providing peace by sharing her purpose.from the bottom of my heart + my family’s heart much appreciation!
