About Lorraine Phalen-Cross:
I am a End of Life, Death, & Home Funeral Guide, Natural Burial advocate, future mortician, motorcyclist, coffee connesouir, avid reader, adventurer, and all around lover of life though death.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
My desire to break the taboo of talking about death in a frank and open manner. I am passionate about educating people on their options, and to take ownership of our dead.
What would you like your legacy to be?
I would love to leave a legacy of education and acceptance of death and dying. Empowering people to live life each day would be the greatest gift to give.
Thoughts for sharing:
In death there is life, & by fully embracing your mortality, you are freed to truly live.
