- Die Well Death Education Lectures
Most people think there are two basic body disposition options – burial and cremation. Not true! There are many more, several of which are far more affordable than the “standard offerings” from the funeral industry. We will discuss the body disposition options available in Maine and review and discuss the “The Funeral Rule,” a law implemented and enforced by the Federal Trade Commission in 1984 (amended in 1994) to protect consumers when purchasing funeral goods and services. In short, protecting consumers from unscrupulous selling practices in the funeral industry.
*Individually wrapped, homemade skull cakelets will be provided.
Die Well Death Education
We're all going to die, so why don't we talk about it? I'm not saying talk about it so incessantly that people generally avoid you, (although you can if you want - I usually do) but rather talk about what we would like our end-of-life experience, our death, and our disposition to look and be like. With clear and concise communication and preparation, you can - and will - create the strongest possibility that you will experience a "good death."
About DWDE
Leona Oceania has always been passionate and curious about end-of-life issues. Motivated by this, she trained to become a Home Funeral Guide, End of Life Doula, and Life Legacy Facilitator. She is also a Hospice volunteer, Funeral Consumer Advocate, Death Cafe Facilitator, and Death Educator. Leona's primary focus is to educate and motivate people to simply start the conversation. Once we can talk more openly about death and normalize the conversation, the better we will be able to connect with our own mortality and be proactive about creating a "good death" for ourselves and others.
