NBA superstar Russell Westbrook, alongside former Charlotte Hornets star Kemba Walker and childhood friend Donnell Beverly Jr., launched Eazewell, an AI-powered funeral planning startup, on May 7th, 2025.
Based in Los Angeles, Eazewell uses artificial intelligence to streamline the funeral planning process by curating options based on budget and preferences, handling paperwork, and managing tasks like canceling utility bills and social media accounts. The platform also features a voice-activated AI agent that communicates with funeral homes to gather quotes and coordinate logistics.
