Here and There


For anyone planning a memorial or celebration of life on their own, consider purchasing the
New Narrative Event Planning Guide

DeathCare BC is an affiliate in support of purchases made using this link. However. This is a guide that is invaluable to anyone who wants the autonomy of planning on their own, but the practical advice of someone with years of experience. Consider getting it for your own group, or as a gift for someone who is in the planning process themselves.


It is a system that hides our dead and moves it out of the public view for a number of different, likely cultural, reasons. But I think now we’re saying, ‘Is this what’s in everyone’s best interest?’ and then deciding that it could be different and asking for it to be different.
— Emily Bootle, The Globe and Mail in June 2022

“We have the choice right now to educate ourselves and prepare so we can evolve the way we manage death in our communities. [Death workers] are doing our best to be ready – is your family?”
