I am committed to honoring the beliefs of others and very often include prayers in the ceremonies that I create, if requested. However, I am a Funeral Celebrant which is a non religious role. I also believe that It is possible to create a sacred ceremony and rituals for clients looking for non-religious ceremonies as well.

Do you provide religious funeral services?

No. As of right now Death Doulas are private pay. I offer packages for visits and can offer a sliding scale if necessary.

Are your services covered by insurance?

I absolutely experience sadness at times, but I also witness so much beauty and emotional healing that it reminds me of what is important in life.

Isn’t it depressing to be with people at the end of their lives?
