Serving families through ten Clearstone affiliates*, Careopolis provides private, invitation-only online caring communities—at no cost to families—where caregivers and loved ones rally together before, during, or after a death. Through Careopolis, loved ones coordinate support, reminisce about memories, celebrate lives, and remain encouraging and supportive.

A centerpiece of the platform is GIST (Group Interactive Storytelling Tool), which uses nostalgia to engage loved ones who otherwise tend to disengage. By sharing memories and stories—in people's actual voices—participants remain involved supporting one another while creating lasting/growing tributes celebrating a loved one's life and legacy.

Careopolis also features an integrated blog, interactive calendar, and support-coordination system where loved ones organize meals, transportation, and other caring support. Through this centralized approach to engagement, the platform is proven in reducing caregiver burden.

"At Clearstone, our mission is centered on serving families with compassion, dignity, and care," said JC Aubry, Clearstone VP Operations. "Careopolis extends this commitment beyond our funeral homes by enabling families to preserve memories, celebrate lives, and remain connected."

"Extending Clearstone's core values," adds Dave Deighton, Clearstone Partner, "Careopolis reinforces relationships among families, hospices, senior living communities, clergy, and healthcare providers who benefit when people remain supported through life's difficult transitions."

"Compassion, service, innovation, and community are central to everything we do," said Zach Edwards, Clearstone Partner. "250,000-plus members remain actively engaged in Careopolis communities associated with Clearstone affiliates—a powerful testament to the enduring role of remembrance, healing, and connectedness."

"One of Careopolis' most rewarding 'upstream' strengths is how it inspires supportive engagement," said Bill Jaehnig, Clearstone Partner. "Whether sharing memories, offering encouragement, or coordinating support, the platform improves outcomes when needed most."

Careopolis originated from CareFlash founder Jay Drayer's personal experience, witnessing firsthand the challenges families commonly face throughout illness, caregiving, and loss, and sought a better way to keep loved ones connected.

"Healing, caregiving, remembrance, and community are not events—they are journeys," said Drayer. "We're honored Clearstone shares our belief that families deserve opportunities to meaningfully rally together, support one-another, celebrate life, and remain connected throughout every step."
