About Us

Ali Strother
Founder

We exist to support people who just don’t have the current capacity to deal with everything that comes after a death. Many families spend hours researching what needs to be done, make dozens of difficult calls, and are faced with so much to do, all during a difficult time.

Our goal is to significantly reduce that burden for you while providing compassionate and empathetic personal support. Next of Kin was founded from personal experience with how overwhelming this period can be — and how much difference practical, human support can make.

  • After my mother passed, I felt paralyzed by the sheer number of phone calls I had to make. Ali stepped in and handled the banks and utilities with so much grace. It gave me the space to actually grieve instead of just filling out forms. I don’t know how I would have managed without her.

  • Next of Kin is more than just an admin service. Ali sat with me during the funeral planning meetings and even helped organize the house for visiting relatives. She noticed the small things—like making sure the plants were watered and the fridge was stocked—that I simply couldn't get to. It felt like having a trusted friend by my side.

  • "The task of packing up my father’s estate felt insurmountable. Next of Kin handled the sorting, donations, and house securement with incredible sensitivity. Ali is efficient, professional, and deeply empathetic. She turned a chaotic situation into a manageable plan."
