Welcome!
This part of my site is still in early development. It was created to educate and empower individuals and families to advocate for little known end-of-life options that may align with their own values.
Check back for expanding user-friendly educational resources on natural burial and the wider topic of funeral planning. These materials are free to all and I encourage you to share with your friends, family, and community.

I have attached a user-friendly copy of “The Funeral Rule” below. The Funeral Rule is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and serves to help protect individuals and families all over the country. The rule mandates transparency and allows families to choose only the goods and services they want from funeral homes. When effectively exercised, the Funeral Rule can empower families to have funerals that are meaningful and economical. The rule can also facilitate easier access to eco-conscious options.
If you would like to learn more about how to have a natural burial specifically in your state, I recommend looking for your local Deathcare Collaborative or connecting with your local End-of-Life doula communities who can help you navigate options. I am an advocate for community-rooted deathcare, and my focus and knowledgebase best pertains to my own Great Lakes Region.
