From Death to Disposition
Historically, care for the dead was handled by family and community – and legally, it is still our right to do so. But for many, our ancestral ways of caring for each other after death have been forgotten.
Join me April 9th for the fifth of my current Befriending Mortality series. We’ll review the aspects of deathcare now outsourced to professionals – bathing, dressing, and transporting the body; sourcing a casket, shroud or urn; handling the paperwork – and consider the benefits of more hands-on engagement. You are welcome to participate even if you haven’t attended the first four sessions in the series.
BONUS SESSION! DEATH CAFE: Befriending Mortality participants are also welcome to attend a no-cost, on-line Death Café to share with each other what’s on their minds regarding befriending mortality.
WHAT: From Death to Disposition
WHEN: Tuesday April 9, 2024 from 5pm to 6:15pm pacific
WHERE: Via Zoom
HOW MUCH: Sliding scale $20 – $45/ class
CONTACT ME to register.

The Death Talk Project
From 2016–2019 the Death Talk Project organized workshops, rituals, Death Cafés, a monthly movie night, and other events. This legacy site documents our approach to useful, honest conversation about how we die, how we mourn, and how we care for and remember our dead.
