If you live in Los Angeles and have been curious about home funerals, September is your lucky month!
Jerrigrace Lyons of Final Passages and Olivia Bareham or Sacred Crossings are giving a workshop.
…………………………
Join us as we explore the special time surrounding a loved one’s passage. Learn options that allow
families and caregivers meaningful participation at end-of-life and following a death.
During the course we will explore:
• Traditional customs, new rituals and legalities of home-based natural death care
• Social, economic and spiritual benefits of natural family-directed arrangements
• Concerns about end-of-life issues and pre-planning for a final passage
• Natural green burials and how death can impact the environment
• Films that express the sacredness and beauty of home funerals and green burials
Join Jerrigrace Lyons, nationally known leader and visionary in the arena of death
and dying, as she shares stories and films that help reduce fears, support the grieving
process and allow for more healing through creative expression and community
support. Jerrigrace is joined by a graduate student of her Home Funeral Guide certifi-
cation course, Olivia Bareham. Olivia is founder of Sacred Crossings and is currently
servicing the Los Angeles area as a home funeral guide and death midwife.
