There is nothing to sign up for
The guides are free and public. You do not need an account, a login, or an agreement with us to print them, share them, or put them in a bereavement folder. If that is all you want, take them and go.
Getting in touch matters only if you want to publish something under your name, or tell us where we are wrong.
What it costs, in both directions
Nothing. No fee to you, and no payment to you. No referral fee, no commission, no revenue share, no gift, nothing of value moving either way, ever.
If Hestia ever charges any provider category, educators, advisers and attorneys are excluded permanently. This is written on the site so you can hold us to it.
What we are not asking
- Not to refer families to Hestia.
- Not to recommend, or avoid recommending, any funeral provider.
- Not to endorse Hestia, publicly or otherwise.
- Not to give us your clients' details. We do not want them.
Hospice staff have real constraints on appearing to steer families toward particular funeral businesses, and attorneys are bound by rules on anything of value given for a client recommendation. Hestia is built so those questions do not arise.
If you write something
You keep the copyright. We publish it under your name and your organisation, with a link if you want one. You can ask us to change or remove it at any time and we will, without argument.
We do not pay for it and we do not ask for exclusivity: publish the same piece anywhere else you like.
If you tell us we are wrong
We correct it. If something in our Tennessee guidance is inaccurate, families are relying on it right now, so this is the most useful thing you can do for us and it takes one email.
We will not name you as the source of a correction unless you want to be named.
What we might ask, once
What your families ask you most often. That is it. You are free to ignore the question, and it changes nothing about anything above.
