 PLAN YOUR OWN FUNERAL 101

Demystify end-of-life planning, and design a farewell that’s as unique as you are

Watch the Replay
Merging ancient wisdom & contemporary choices

We're living through a cultural shift around death and dying.

As we collectively move away from fear and outdated conventions, toward a more generative and equitable future, the need for compassionate, care-based communities is greater than ever. We're experienced Death & Dying educators who are passionate about teaching the importance of sacred deathwork. The time is now to learn.

Why should all funerals look the same when no two lives are alike?

 

Plan Your Own Funeral 101 challenges the notion that more expensive means more meaningful. In this unique course, we'll break down the steps of planning your own funeral and dive into the myriad of options available for crafting a farewell that truly reflects the unique life it celebrates.

We'll cover advance directives, choosing a death doula, celebratory party planning, home funerals, natural burial, water cremation, and other sustainable practices, so that you can make the informed decisions now for a farewell that aligns with your true self.

You'll also gain insights into writing a heartfelt obituary that captures the essence of a life well-lived. This course empowers you to take control of your final tribute, ensuring it's as individual as you are.

Just a quick thank you for all that you are exposing me to. After each evening session I feel alive, my heart more full of excitement than at any other time during the day. The diverse perspectives, the new vocabulary, the inside look that is so hard to find on my own...it is all making me a stronger and more informed advocate for the people that I care for.
