About Amy Cunningham:

Amy Cunningham is a death educator and NY state licensed funeral director who blogs about funeral planning and  end-of-life issues.


What brings you to Death Cafe?

When people comfortably discuss death, they become more aware of the preciousness of life. In order to get good at anything, one has to rehearse. So why not rehearse a little for death by discussing it over tea and cake (I prefer fruit and cheese myself) with others? I love Death Cafes for the community they build, and went to several before leading one.


What would you like your legacy to be?

Oh, I am hoping to foster better understanding between end-of-life professionals (crematory and cemetery managers, funeral directors) and the general public. I'd also like to make sure people shopping for funeral services go into their funeral arrangements conference armed with good information and a broader understanding of their options.


Thoughts for sharing:

So live, that when thy summons comes to join the innumerable caravan that moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust. Approach thy grave, like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

--William Cullen Bryant
