Lima, Ohio Mar 26, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - In 2024, Cassaundra Burks, a former electoral candidate, founded Afterlife Companions, a virtual bereavement concierge service that facilitates visits to the gravesites of loved ones, irrespective of the visitor's location.

Burks, who previously ran for the Georgia state house in the 64th district, has collaborated with Afterlife Companions to contribute $15,000 to various Ohio foundations, addressing the pressing issue of inequality.

Countless children are born prematurely, and many parents find themselves unable to afford a respectful burial for their infants. Consequently, local and state agencies often step in to ensure these families receive proper burial services, which can lead to cremation.

Beyond providing financial assistance to families in Ohio, Afterlife Companions, along with its partners, is organizing a public living funeral in Georgia, spearheaded by Cassaundra Burks.

This event aims to highlight the financial challenges and responsibilities associated with burial practices while promoting discussions on the importance of life. Although her electoral campaign was unsuccessful, Burks is taking significant steps to support families in commemorating their deceased loved ones.
