What we do

Services Built for Families

January helps families plan direct cremation and personal celebrations of life, bringing clarity and care to something that’s too often confusing, impersonal, and harder than it should be.

Direct cremation

Direct cremation is a simple way to arrange cremation without holding a formal service right away. We’ll guide you through each step with care, transparency, and steady support.

Celebration of life

On the day itself, everything comes together — the people, the place, the moments that feel like them. We’ll make sure it reflects who they were and what they meant to you.

Celebrations of Life

How we plan together

We’ll walk with you through each step from the first call to the day you gather to celebrate their life.

Start with a call

When you're ready, we'll talk through what matters most: who you're honoring, what feels right, and how we can help. It's a short call to start finding your way forward.

Shape the details

After our call, we'll gather a few details. Things like timing, location, and any ideas you already have. There's no rush or right way to do it. We'll guide you through, and take care of the rest.

Note from the Founders

We started January because we’ve seen how hard this part can be. After more than a decade of helping people through loss (and experiencing it ourselves) we kept seeing the same thing: families asked to make big decisions fast, without clear information or meaningful support.
‍
With January, we’re building something better: an honest, uncomplicated way to plan cremations and celebrations with guidance families can actually trust.

We know this isn’t easy, and we don’t take your trust lightly. Our promise is simple: we’ll show up every step of the way with clarity, care, and honesty.
‍

What is January?

January will help families plan both direct cremation and personal celebrations of life.
‍
We’ll offer practical support and calm guidance every step of the way, so families can focus on what matters most: honoring the person they love.

Direct Cremation

(coming soon)

A simple, supported option for families who prefer cremation without the formality of a traditional funeral home. January will handle every step with transparency and care — from pickup to return of ashes, with clear, flat pricing and ongoing guidance along the way.

Celebration of Life

(coming January 2025)

A personal, meaningful gathering that reflects who your person was and how they lived. January will help plan and coordinate every detail — from venues and vendors to the flow of the day — so the experience feels seamless, heartfelt, and true to them.

What we do

Waitlist

You don't need all the answers right now. We're here to support you through the decisions, not just take your order. Start where you are, and we'll figure out the rest together.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

We’re getting ready to open soon. Here’s what to expect and how we’ll help we're live.

When will January open?

We’ll begin serving families in the Atlanta area in early 2026. Our first offering will be Celebration of Life planning, followed a few months later by Direct Cremation services.

Can I plan something with January now?

Not yet. Our services aren’t live, but you can join our waitlist to stay updated and receive planning resources. We’ll reach out directly as soon as we begin booking families.

What services will January offer?

We’ll offer two connected services:
‍
Direct cremation: a simple, supported cremation handled start to finish by licensed partners, with flat, all-inclusive pricing.

Celebration of life planning: help organizing a meaningful gathering — including venue coordination, vendor recommendations, timeline planning, and day-of guidance.You can use either service on its own or both together.

How is January different from a funeral home?

Traditional funeral homes often combine cremation, ceremony, and merchandise into large bundled packages. January separates what families actually need:  transparent cremation and personal celebration planning, and delivers both with clarity, compassion, and fair pricing.

What is direct cremation, exactly?

Direct cremation means the cremation happens without a traditional funeral service first. The person is respectfully transported from their place of passing to a licensed crematory. Their ashes are returned directly to the family, who can then plan a celebration on their own terms — at home, outdoors, or in a venue that feels right.

What will celebration planning include?

We’ll help you choose the right venue, coordinate with vendors (like florists, caterers, musicians, and celebrants), create a simple timeline for the day, and manage details so everything runs smoothly. You’ll have a clear budget and checklist from the start.

Where will January operate first?

Our first families will be in metro Atlanta and nearby areas, with plans to expand to additional cities down the road.

How will pricing work?

Both services will have flat, transparent pricing. Direct Cremation will be offered at one all-inclusive rate; no hidden fees or surprise costs. Celebration of Life will include tiered packages with flat pricing, so you can choose the level of support that fits your needs, with the option to add or customize
as you go.

How can I stay informed?
