The Study of Death is Central To My Life

Our relationship with death directly affects the way that we live our lives. Our traditions do not just honor our loved ones and the sacred process of transition, they also provide a soothing balm to us in our time of pain. Additionally, the contemporary manifestation of ancient traditions provides us with real tools for closure and a foundation upon which to build new relationships with our new ancestors.

Take a look at just a small sample of the work that I have been doing around memorialization throughout the years. The study of memorialization is one of my life passions and as much as I have done… I know the best is yet to come!
