APRIL 2025 WEBINAR OVERVIEW
When a death is unexpected, it can feel like all control is lost. But even in challenging circumstances, families can still be involved in caring for their person.
Join us for a powerful webinar with Emily, a licensed funeral director and embalmer deeply passionate about family-led deathcare. With experience across the full spectrum of funeral service—from small independent homes to corporate management—Emily has spent her career advocating for hands-on, eco-friendly approaches to death.
Emily's session is about applying the values of community-led deathcare after an unexpected loss. Planting the seed early on that a family can still be involved in the care of their person even when the circumstances are challenging. Using examples from her experiences with families, and interweaving legal and safety considerations, Emily will provide clarity for uncertain times.
Since the beginning of her career in funeral service, Emily has encouraged folks to take an active role in the care of their dead. She believes that this helps in the early days of grief by re-establishing a sense of control. This could mean anything from retrieving a lock of hair to setting up a multi-day vigil in the home based on the desires of the family.
Through real-life stories and legal/safety considerations, Emily will provide clarity for uncertain times—showing that involvement is not only possible but can also be a grounding force in early grief.
