Funeral director Linn Ann Griffin and pre-planning counselor Sarah Taylor will discuss what to expect when planning a funeral and different burial options, including green burials, cremations, above ground entombment, and in-ground burials.
Dying is an unavoidable part of human life, yet many of us find it awkward or uncomfortable to talk about. Each week of this six-part series features compassionate professionals who will speak about different aspects of death and dying. Attendees will engage in meaningful conversations about a journey we will all one day make.
