The Alaska End-of-Life Alliance was formed to assist Alaskans who are planning for, or who are at the end of their lives, by providing them end-of-life support. Alaska End-of-Life Alliance is an alliance of professionals and advocates who offer education, advocacy, and support services.

End-of-life support is the care provided to someone before, during, and after their death. This support encompasses a wide range of services including: advanced care planning and decision making; discussion about all aspects of death and dying; life review and legacy work; spiritual guidance and support; physical and emotional support; care of the body after death; and support for loved ones after a person has died.
