VIRTUAL American Funeral

Speaker: Lee Webster, BA

Before we can contemplate reforming funeral practices to be more culturally relevant and environmentally responsible, we need to explore how we got here. We’ll take a look at innovative disruptions unique to American funerary practices over the years that have shaped what we have come to expect. We’ll also discuss the legal ins and outs of arranging a contemporary conventional funeral. And we’ll share tools and tips to help us consider how we might do things differently without losing any of the things we hope to accomplish when honoring a loved one.
