Meet Your Advisor
Yooch Chong
Founder, Life Finalized
Life Finalized was founded on a simple belief: every family deserves clear, compassionate guidance when planning for end-of-life — without confusion, pressure, or unexpected costs.
With two years of direct experience in the funeral industry and five years of prior professional work in financial planning and insurance services, I bring a rare combination of practical knowledge and financial literacy to funeral planning. I understand both the emotional weight of these decisions and the financial considerations that come with them.
Whether you are planning ahead for yourself, helping an aging parent, or navigating an immediate need, I am here to walk alongside you — at your pace, in your language, and with your family's values at the center of every decision.
Outside of work, I am a proud husband and father of two. My son is 12 and my daughter is 15 — and it is partly for them that I do this work. I want every family to have the clarity and peace of mind that comes from planning ahead, so the people we love are never left to figure it out alone.
