Our goal is to help people manage their life and family with greater intention and personal control by offering a simple way to get organized.

After witnessing how difficult it was to wrap up the details of a loved one’s life, Emily Cisek knew there had to be a better way. She soon discovered there wasn’t a single digital platform that could help families simplify how they organized their life. She founded The Postage in late 2019 to help families get organized easily throughout their lives. The Postage is a solution for people who want to manage their information and effectively gain control of their wealth and wisdom, now and for generations to come.
