Let’s face it - talking about death and dying is still a bit taboo in our culture. But how can you make informed decisions about end-of-life when clear, honest information is so hard to come by? That’s where we come in. Join our panel of end-of-life professionals for a laid-back Q&A session where no question is too basic, or too taboo. We’re here to bring transparency to death care - one real conversation at a time. Our panel of end-of-life experts, includes a licensed funeral director, crematory operator and embalmer, death doulas, death educators, and guides who are passionate about bringing transparency to the funeral profession. We show up with deep respect for our work and the sacredness of death, and we invite you to show up with your curiosity. Have you ever asked yourself? Can I be buried in my backyard? Can I ask a friend to put snacks in my casket before I'm buried? What will I look like a decade after I've been embalmed? What’s the difference between a green burial and a “traditional” burial? What exactly are those ashes in my auntie's urn? Is human composting really a thing and how does it work? This is your chance to get real answers from people who live this work every day. Join us for authentic conversation about the things no one talks about (but should). We will be meeting at South Park Yoga & Wellness and they kindly request that shoes are removed in the meeting space. Thanks so much!
