About Us

Helping Families Move Forward With Confidence

Moving Forward is a Certified Senior Move Manager serving Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Arlington, Lakeland, Cordova, and the surrounding Mid-South area. We help seniors, families, busy professionals, and estate executors manage the emotional and logistical details of moving, downsizing, organizing, and preparing a home for its next chapter.

We are not a moving company. Instead, we coordinate the entire process — from planning and sorting to packing coordination, move-day supervision, vendor scheduling, and new home setup — so families do not have to manage it all alone.

Senior-Focused Support

We help older adults transition with dignity, patience, and care.

Organized Planning

Every move begins with a clear plan, thoughtful timeline, and step-by-step support.

Trusted Coordination

We coordinate movers, donations, estate sales, junk removal, and other trusted vendors.

Stress-Free Transitions

Our goal is to reduce overwhelm and help families feel supported from start to finish.

What Drives Us

Making Life Transitions Feel Manageable

Moving can be stressful at any stage of life, but it can feel especially overwhelming when it involves downsizing, aging parents, decades of belongings, or the loss of a loved one. Moving Forward exists to bring structure, compassion, and calm to situations that often feel emotional and complicated.

To Simplify Complex Moves

We manage the details families often do not have the time, energy, or experience to handle alone. From organizing belongings to coordinating vendors, we help create a smoother, more manageable moving experience.

To Support Families With Care

We understand that downsizing and relocation are not just physical tasks. They are emotional transitions. Our team helps clients make thoughtful decisions, reduce stress, and move forward with confidence.

“At Moving Forward, our work is about more than moving belongings. It’s about helping people feel cared for, supported, and ready for what comes next.”
- Preston Burleson, CEO
