The Death Network

End-of-Life Collective

We are a collective of death doulas, end-of-life guides, funeral professionals, and death educators offering compassionate support through one of life’s most sacred transitions.

With deep roots in tradition and an openness to what’s emerging, our network provides seamless care -from bedside to burial, from planning to parting.

We believe in doing death differently - with intention, with care, and in ways that truly reflect a life well lived.

The Death Network Community Events

  • The Death Network discussion group

    Death Network Discussion Groups

    Gather with like minded people and dive into conversation about death, dying and grief. Our discussion groups are a great place to get comfortable tallking about these taboo topics and connect with others.

  • Creative Grief Releasing Activities

    All of our events have a grief releasing component because grief can impact our everyday life in a big way. Our grief tree is adorned with notes from loved ones and travels to all of our workshops.

  • Home Funeral & Shrouding Demonstrations

    At our Home Funeral events we demonstrate how the community can care for their loved ones at home with body-care basics and a shrouding demonstration that uses materials most of us have at home.

  • Grief Meditation & Yoga Workshops

    Learn creative ways to integrate grief into everyday life with our yoga, meditation and breathwork workshops. Because we never really overcome or heal from grief, movement and meditation are powerful tools for integrating & accepting grief.

  • Sound Healing & Meditation

    Quieting our minds can be a challenge! Modalities like crystal bowl sound healing and meditation help us to go within and tap into our intuitive ability to heal ourselves.

  • The Death Network shrouded body home funeral

    Community Death Care

    Not so long ago, friends and family cared for the dying in their own home. After death, they would clean their body, shroud them in natural linens and hold a home funeral. These ancestral death care practices are experiencing a revival and we strive to help make community death care accessible to all.

Craft an experience that will deepen the connection among guests and explore how death can be done differently.

Popular Experiences

  • Dinner & Death - a delicious meal accompanied by a lively, guided conversation about death & dying.

  • Movement & Meditation - embrace the art of slowing down with yin yoga, meditation and journaling to help integrate grief into our everyday lives.

  • End-of-Life Planning - there is no better gift you can leave your loved ones than planning ahead for your own death, but it’s a lot of work! Rather than your monthly book group, consider an end-of-life planning gathering where we’ll explore rising deathcare trends and alternative options that oftentimes aren’t offered at the standard funeral home.
