Hi there,
It's great to find this beautiful resource and see what everyone else is up to. Super inspiring. I am making a feature film about death rituals with my partner -- here's a little bit about the project. If you'de like to get in touch at all ...
Death is very underrated. Age is the number that shows how close we are to death or how less it is to the inevitable death. Death is the destination that everyone shares, there’s no stopping it. Life is not a game. It was never a game. If it is ...
Hi everyone,
I produced a programme about Death Cafes for the World Service last year - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0506ttc - and having received such a positive response, I'm keen to bring Jon's work and the death cafe movement to other BBC audiences.
Therefore, I'm currently ...

People are often surprised when they learn of my love-hate relationship with the term “Celebration of Life.”
"But you're a Celebrant!" they say. "Doesn't that mean you like to celebrate?"
Well, yes...and no. It depends.
Let’s take a look at Google’s definition of the word ...

Looking at death as being a woman came to me the other day when I ran across some pictures of death as a woman. I typically think of the same old image of a man in a robe and hood with a scythe. He is behind or beside some poor ...
Death is a hard sell in our death-denying culture. Yet, each of the people I encountered recently will, in time, face the end of their life. That’s a given. The big question is; will they have the time or even the inclination to face their mortality in a way ...
“I want to celebrate my belief that living well and dying well are one and the same thing. I’m not talking about adjusting deathbed pillows so that dying people can strike heroic poses for the edification of onlookers. I’m talking about achieving a good death in the context ...
