Compassionate End-of-Life Planning Services

Founded with Compassion. Guided by Experience.

Peacefully Planned was created to bring clarity and compassion to one of life’s most tender chapters. Our founder, Jacquelyn Mendoza, started this service after the loss of her brother two years ago—an experience that deeply shaped her understanding of what families need when facing loss. With nearly 25 years of professional planning experience, she found that navigating funeral arrangements, paperwork, and emotional logistics while grieving was a uniquely overwhelming challenge.

That personal journey became the foundation for Peacefully Planned: a service born from both heart and expertise.

A true lifesaver.
