The Death Network

End-of-Life Collective

We are a collective of death doulas, end-of-life guides, funeral professionals, and grief guides 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.

Private Events & Experiences

We will help you create a unique event that your guests will remember for the rest of their lives! We bring a lively approach to our favorite taboo topic (death), along with activities to spur on engagement & contemplative conversation.

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.
