Event Details

Contemplating the end of your life can evoke various emotions. Yet, finding peace in knowing your final wishes are understood can bring reassurance and comfort to you and your loved ones. Join us for a three-part workshop series designed to shed light on what is often considered a dark topic: Funeral & Legacy Planning.

Session 1: Honoring Your Essence: Exploring Burial Options

In our first session, we delve into the various options for your final resting place. From traditional burials to eco-friendly alternatives, we'll guide you through the choices available, ensuring your preferences are honored.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Burial options: embalming, natural burial, cremation (fire or water), natural organic reduction
  • Setting preferences: viewing arrangements, dressing and styling choices
  • Final resting place: cemetery, scattering, urn, memorial tree or plant

Join us for these enlightening workshops as we explore the profound journey of funeral and legacy planning. Together, let's illuminate the path towards peace, preparation, and profound remembrance. Be sure to join us for Session 2: Celebrating Your Life: Planning Your Last Party and Session 3: Preparing for the Journey: End-of-Life Planning Essentials.
