Education
Death can be hard to talk about, but we can’t prepare ourselves or those we love if we aren’t brave enough to break the silence. Let us help you start the conversation.
We provide community education on advance care planning, grief, legacy building, palliative care, and end-of-life care options.

Say it Now!+
Alive’s Say It Now program encourages us to tell the important people in our lives how we feel, now. Sharing your thoughts today can bring joy, resolve a conflict or make someone feel appreciated.We’ve all thought, “Why didn’t I just tell them, and now it’s too late.” In grief, people often express regret for having left something unsaid in their relationship with the person who died.
Our team helps community members Say It Now with encouragement, postcards and more at events and custom workshops. Contact us for more information.
