End Of Life Planning 101: Planning Ceremonies and Memorials
About the Event
The End-of-Life Planning 101 workshop series is designed to help individuals understand, navigate, and take action on key end-of-life planning topics. Facilitated by the PAUSE team and rotating BIPOC death doulas and guest speakers, each 90-minute session offers education, grounding, and space for questions around essential documents and decisions - from advance directives and wills to body disposition, digital legacy, and grief plans for loved ones. Whether participants are just beginning to think about end-of-life planning or need support updating existing paperwork, this series provides compassionate, culturally relevant guidance to approach these conversations with clarity, care, and confidence.
Session Focus: Planning Ceremonies and Memorials
This session explores how to plan meaningful ceremonies and memorials that reflect your personal, cultural, and spiritual values. Participants will learn about memorial planning, obituary preparation, and ways to document their preferences using a memorial planning worksheet. By the end of the session, participants will have the tools to create a thoughtful plan that honors their life and provides guidance for loved ones
