Rachel Donnelly was just starting her career and raising two small children when her parents passed on. As she struggled with settling estates, bank accounts, and other various paperwork, she knew there had to be a better way. It was at this time that Rachel thought of the idea for After Light, an end-of-life and legacy planning service. With six years under her belt, Rachel has now written the book “Late To Your Own Funeral” which is out now.
