Support Clarvia
When a loved one dies, families are often expected to handle paperwork, institutions, deadlines, and cross-border questions while they are still grieving.
The information exists, but it is scattered across official websites, different jurisdictions, and unclear procedures. Clarvia turns that complexity into free, open-source checklists that show what to do first, what each step unlocks, and what deadlines matter most.
Your donation helps make this practical guidance available to everyone, not only to those who can afford lawyers, consultants, or private support.
Most of us will face this responsibility at some point. No one should have to figure it out alone.

Clarvia is built around real feedback from families navigating administrative challenges after a loss.
“When my mother passed away unexpectedly, it felt like falling into a black box. My first instinct was to shut out the world and cry, but almost immediately I was told there were things that had to be done within 24 hours. That felt inhumane. Clear guidance for something that eventually touches every family would be deeply welcome.”
- Tom, Luxembourg
“Our daughter died in a fatal accident while living in Luxembourg. She was not a Luxembourg national, and there was no will. We suddenly had to deal with Luxembourg's administrative system without speaking any of its official languages. No parent should ever have to go through the loss of a child, but there has to be a better way than adding immediate administrative burden on top of grief.”
- Bereaved parents, United Kingdom
“When someone dies while your family is split between countries, grief becomes mixed with documents, translations, distance, and uncertainty. You do not always know which country's rules matter, who to contact, or what papers are needed. In that moment, a free and multilingual guide would not remove the grief, but it would remove some of the fear and confusion.”
- Ukrainian temporary protection beneficiary, Luxembourg
