With Love is a mortality awareness business offering compassionate planning, creative experiences, and practical tools to help individuals and communities navigate the end-of-life—before, during, and after a death occurs.
We provide a full spectrum of services:
• Advance care planning (including corporate wellness partnerships)
• End-of-life doula support
• Memorial and legacy event planning
• Grief resources and remembrance tools
• Public education and custom trainings
Whether you’re planning for yourself, supporting a loved one, or building a more death-literate workplace or community, we’re here to help—with clarity, empathy, and creativity.
Based in St. Louis, Missouri, With Love supports clients locally and across the country.
Our Approach
We believe end-of-life planning is a vital part of living well. Facing death doesn’t have to be clinical or cold—it can be loving, thoughtful, and empowering. At With Love, we aim to demystify death, normalize grief, and support legacy work in all its forms.
Our offerings range from private sessions and workshops to large-scale events and corporate trainings. Whether you need an extra hand organizing a Celebration of Life, someone to walk with you during a loved one’s final chapter, or support navigating your own advance care planning—we’re here.

About Lauren
Hi, I’m Lauren Ponder—founder of With Love, certified End-of-Life Planner, educator, event planner, and fierce advocate for death literacy.
My work began with personal grief. After my mom’s death in 2016 and feeling lost in the process, I realized how much support families truly need—emotionally, logistically, spiritually. With Love began as a way to help people through death events, but it’s evolved into something much more: a platform for planning, community, and healing.
Today, I combine my background in events, deathcare, and Human Resources to offer:
• Private support for individuals and families
• Trainings for aspiring doulas and healthcare teams
• Community education and ritual
• Corporate wellness programming
• Public events and festivals like Last Call: An End-of-Life Festival
I sit on the Volunteer Board for the non-profit Gateway End-of-Life Coalition. I also founded the St. Louis Death Positive Collective, and continue to collaborate with organizations seeking to make death, dying, and grief less taboo and more human.
