This course introduces participants to modern death care options, legal realities, and practical planning tools. Students will learn about home funerals, green burial, cremation options, body donation, and how families can work with or independently from funeral homes. The class focuses on increasing death care literacy, reducing fear and misinformation, and helping people make informed end-of-life decisions that align with their values, culture, and budget. No prior experience is required; open to caregivers, doulas, and community members planning ahead.
