Funeral Planning

In this interactive workshop, Professor Chris Palmer will explain why talking with your family about your funeral preferences is essential, why comparison shopping can save you significant money, and how eco-friendly options at the end of life (like green burial, water cremation, and human composting) present new opportunities. Chris will also cover related topics, including embalming, home funerals, and death doulas.
