Have you ever imagined what your own funeral might look like? Have you attended a funeral that made you want something different for yourself? This session will help you begin to imagine final arrangements that reflect your preferences and values. We will focus on less expensive and eco-friendly options and choices such as family-led deathcare, natural burial, and DIY memorial services. We will provide an overview of families' rights and options to care for and honor their loved ones with or without funeral home involvement. Come away with information and inspiration for an unconventional funeral that is as unique as the life it celebrates.
