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 3: Preparing for the Journey: End-of-Life Planning Essentials

In our final session, we tackle the practical aspects of end-of-life planning. From pre-planning considerations to navigating complex decisions, we'll equip you with the knowledge and tools to ensure a smooth transition and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Pre-planning essentials: understanding death doulas, designating decision-makers
  • End-of-life care options: DNRs, VSED, MAID
  • Digital legacy: managing digital footprints and online accounts

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 1: Honoring Your Essence: Exploring Burial Options and Session 2: Celebrating Your Life: Planning Your Last Party
