Living Urn - When a Body Becomes a Tree
Many people I speak to have asked me about the idea of a body becoming a tree. Pretty cool concept since our collective conscience is becoming aware of greenhouse gases and toxic pollutants. Maybe this is the answer! Not so fast....

I Wanted to Call, But....
How many times have we said that? How many times have we said that and still didn't do something? How many times did we miss our chance to reach out - forever?
That can be a heavy thought to have in your brain. The heaviness can lead to action:
to not miss out on moments when the image of someone you are missing pops into your head and you think you should call, or text.

Want a Green Burial? How Can You Tell if You're Using a "Green Cemetery"?
Let's start talking green burial. First off, you may want to find a cemetery that follows green practices. The best way to find that is to look at the Green Burial Council website. Their directory lists certified cemeteries by their criteria, by state.

Meet Garrick! A Death Cafe Participant and Gamer - Gamer??
Garrick is a self-described gamer. He owns an escape room in Richland, WA, called PerplEXIT. We met at a Death Cafe and have had some one-on-one discussions as well. What could a gamer add to the death conversation? Plenty, and you have to listen to get the nuance of the relationship.
--Listen for two topics: Gear Fear and Acceptance. If you aren't a gamer you may think you won't learn anything interesting about death. Not true! For example, what is a "Death drill"? (14:44)
And how about:
--"Worry less, have more fun" (20:30).
--"I'm not the only one" (32:14).
