About CodaCo
CodaCo is an online marketplace and directory for goods and services tied to death, dying and grief. Independent providers list memorial goods such as urns, ash jewelry and burial shrouds. They also list services such as grief practitioners, death doulas, home organization and estate attorneys. Visitors can also find books, planning documents and written guidance.
CodaCo lists Denver and Portland, Oregon as its 2026 launch locations. Co-founder Naomi Levy spent 17 years in product and project management of economic forecasts. Co-founder Julie Bernstein spent sixteen years in geriatric medicine and then started an event planning company for living funerals in Oregon. Physician Alison Shmerling is an advisor.

Why Investors Backed CodaCo
CodaCo Market runs an online marketplace for goods and services around death, dying and grief. Independent providers list their offerings, and families can find, contact and pay them on the platform. The site also carries books, planning tools and guidance for people who have just lost someone. It is starting in Denver and Portland.
The problem it targets
CodaCo's stated starting point is a frustration. The resources people need around a death are scattered, poorly described and hard to compare. The company argues that finding help should not add to the load a grieving family already carries.
What the product does
The home page sorts visitors by their situation. Options include caring for someone near the end of life, having recently lost someone, planning ahead and looking for a gift. Provider cards show the city, whether the provider works in the home or virtually, and star ratings with review counts. Providers publish their own listings, and customers pay them through the platform. A CodaCo gift card would let a grieving person put a balance toward goods and services.
Progress so far
The home page names Denver and Portland as the cities with local providers and says more cities are launching soon. The provider cards on the home page are marked as examples. The gift card feature is marked as coming soon.
