February Lunch & Learn

Creating a Meaningful Funeral

Led by Meg Wade an Interfaith Chaplain and Grief Doula at Larkspur Conservation, come learn helpful information about planning a funeral for someone you love that feels heartfelt, personal, and unique. In this workshop, participants will dive into the many ways to plan a funeral, including questions around rituals and practices, what end-of-life planning happens after a death occurs, but before a funeral takes place, and how to honor someone you’ve lost in a way that feels healing.

She holds an MFA in poetry from the University of Arizona, a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the University of Wisconsin, and a Masters of Divinity from Vanderbilt University.

Meg designed and implemented the first interfaith grief chaplaincy program for natural burial cemeteries in the United States at Larkspur Conservation, where she creates and officiates meaningful and unique funerals so families may honor their loved ones in a way that feels right.
