Greening Your Death and Aligning Your Values - Willow Workshop™

Many of us do our best to live mindfully and walk lightly on our planet. Yet, we tend to give little consideration to the environmental impact of what happens to us after we die. Partly, this is because we live in a culture fraught with death denial. Typically, when someone dies, a funeral provider is called to remove the person and arrange for either burial or cremation. Most people don’t take the time to understand the array of options within these two choices, or what alternatives are available in addition to these two choices. The good news is, many steps can be taken to green your death no matter where you live, and new options for greening your death are growing.

In this workshop, you will:

• Consider and articulate what about greening your death matters to you.

• Discover the environmental impacts of various choices for after-death care.

• Learn about green options that may be available in your region.

• Consider the best way to align your values with your choices.
