Donnell Beverly Jr. launched Eazewell after losing both parents to address the fragmented, burdensome administrative tasks that follow a death. The startup is backed by Russell Westbrook and Kemba Walker and offers an AI-driven agent that provides a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week resource to help families find and book funeral homes, cancel credit cards, and manage other practical tasks. Eazewell partners with hospice providers, funeral homes, and insurance companies to provide a free baseline service with optional premium features. The platform aims to reduce logistical stress for grieving families by automating processes and centralizing disparate end-of-life services.
""The main thesis with Russ across every business that he touches is how do we impact people?" Beverly Jr. [pictured above] told TechCrunch. "He's been very vocal about that throughout his career. I always say we really took personal pain and then created a platform to really help people." Westbrook was in. Former four-time NBA All Star Kemba Walker also joined and the trio launched Eazewell."
