Description of Events:

Library Talk = (1.5-hours) Informational talk about home funerals and green burials including a slide show presentation of photos. We allow time at the end of the presentation for questions and answers. For more complete information, please view pdf flyer.

Workshop = (3-hours) A hands-on, experiential workshop where we practice providing after-death care to a body (a volunteer who acts as the deceased) and an in-home vigil. We will discuss what is required in terms of supplies and how to go about the step-by-step process. We allow plenty of time to have all your questions answered. Join us to learn • What is a home funeral like? • Is it legal? • Is embalming necessary? • What paperwork is required? • What do I do when someone dies? • Is this a good fit for my family? • How can friends, family and community be involved and supportive? • What is a green burial? • Where are the green burial cemeteries in the area? For more complete information, please view workshop flyer.

Meetup = (1 hour) Very casual one hour meeting that we host once a month to discuss a variety of topics and answer questions of those in attendance. We discuss funeral options that are environmentally considerate, reflect personal values, and and make economic sense. Visit webpage for more information.
