A Death Revolution Is Underway

Deathworkers and the families they serve are actively reclaiming death as a sacred and visible part of the human experience. The shift is notably evident as diverse families now seek to establish and partake in meaningful rituals that honor their loved ones, and communities are increasingly learning to come together to grieve collectively. Deathworkers are stepping up to acknowledge and address what has been overlooked and neglected for far too long. This is a powerful movement—an important return to the wisdom, care, and reverence that is essential for both life and death.
