Yep—it’s real. And it’s here!
When someone you love dies, the grief is heavy enough—yet most of us also face a flood of logistics, decisions, and unanswered questions. Unbury the Burden is both a personal story and a practical guide, written by someone who has lived every step of it.

Blending compassion with clarity, Hollie McEvoy shares what really happens when you become ‘the designated person’: the paperwork, the funeral plans, the digital accounts, the closets full of memories. Each chapter offers honest reflections, practical checklists, and gentle invitations to prepare now—so your loved ones don’t have to carry the weight later.

This book isn’t about fear. It’s about love in action: giving clarity instead of chaos, peace instead of panic, and direction instead of doubt.

Why Launch on October 6th?
This book was born from the pain of losing my mom too soon. Launching it on her birthday is my way of honoring her life and ensuring that what she left behind can light the way for others. While she isn’t here to open this gift, I believe she would be proud knowing her story is helping families everywhere prepare with love and intention.

About the Author
About the Author
Hollie McEvoy
Hollie McEvoy
Hollie McEvoy is a wife, mother, and daughter who believes in doing the hard things—especially the ones most people avoid. Raised in the insurance world in Northwest Arkansas, she learned early that planning ahead can make a world of difference. But it wasn’t until she experienced sudden loss that she discovered how much isn’t covered by policies or plans. That experience became the foundation for Unbury the Burden, a book that blends personal storytelling with practical guidance to help families prepare for the inevitable and leave a legacy of clarity, not confusion.
Hollie later founded Unbury the Burden, Inc., a nonprofit helping individuals and families organize, plan, and communicate before crisis hits. Known for her straightforward yet compassionate approach, she writes and speaks from a place of realism and heart—reminding others that love isn’t just what we feel; it’s what we leave behind. She lives in Columbia, Missouri, with her husband, Morgan, and their son, Cole.
