Opportunities in Green Burial
Redesigning the End online course What is green and natural burial? Why do people choose it? How can faith communities, cemeteries, universities, municipalities and others begin to offer natural burial? Free Register Making After Death Decisions: A Caregiver Conversation
with Lee Webster When faced with the death of a loved one, making decisions about what will happen after the death occurs can be difficult for caregivers. Completed advance directives don't necessarily cover funeral wishes, nor might they be realistic or affordable when the time comes. In this presentation and discussion, we'll talk about options, including how to hire a funeral home for what is needed, what parts of the process we might want to take on ourselves, and ways to start the conversation about what we and our loved one would like to have happen during and after death. We'll share tools and tips to help you and your family prepare to make the transition from caregivers to funeral consumers. Items we'll also cover include: what the law requires and how it can support you; what the process is and what the goals are for hiring professional help; partnering with other helpers and tapping into potential community resources; what things can be done differently to be more environmentally friendly; checklists, forms, and other aids; and how to ensure you got it right for yourself, your family, and your person.
