Episode 117: We're taking a closer look at the community death care movement with funeral director and advocate William Turner Heath. From the growing shift towards personalized, alternative end-of-life practices to the role of death doulas, we’re diving into how the funeral industry is changing—and why it needs to.
We'll talk about how funeral homes can better serve diverse communities, adapt to modern consumer needs, and why some death doulas are steering clear of becoming funeral directors (hint: it’s got a lot to do with industry toxicity). Oh, and did we mention psychedelics in end-of-life care? Yeah, we're going there too.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that’s anything but business as usual.
