  • How to Improve Death Literacy in a Community
    Nov 1 2024

    Death educator Lee Warren believes preparing for death in advance makes a good death possible.

    Over a period of two years, she experienced several deaths in her small community of 125 people, teaching her the best lessons about death as she cared for them.

    Those deaths, and the generous people who experienced them, offered an incredible opportunity for Lee to reweave a more holistic approach to end-of-life than the one generally offered to us in the U.S. The outcome of stewarding those deaths together as a community, including after-death care, home funerals, and home burials, was life changing and heart opening for Lee. She has channeled the wisdom she learned into work as a Death Educator and End-of-Life Preparation Guide.

  • Grandpad Has Made Innovative AI Available to Older Adults
    Oct 25 2024

    Serious illness and caregiving can be isolating. GrandPad’s AI technology keeps seniors safely connected to loved ones. Isaac Lien and his dad Scott co-founded GrandPad to meet the needs they saw in Scott’s mom. Their new AI app Grandie offers audio interaction for the user without requiring a certain format, and even learns the user’s voice and way of speaking. Because GrandPad’s network is private and encrypted, users can share photos or videos and make video calls without worrying about robocalls or spam. No one can be part of a user’s network unless they’re been invited by the family administrator.

    GrandPad makes a fantastic holiday gift for older adults, especially those living at a distance from family. Its features include:

    • phone calls • video calls • video sharing • internet browning • 911 emergency use • 4G LTE data plan

    Watch a webinar to hear more about GrandPad’s features here.

  • Honoring the Dead with Beautiful Burial Shrouds
    Oct 18 2024

    Virginia Marcolin’s background in fashion and textiles led her to start designing burial shrouds, experimenting with luxurious natural fabrics and vegetable dyes. The result was Sanctum, a brand of high-end scented burial shrouds for the natural funeral industry. Virginia sources a variety of high-quality organic fabrics which are soft to the touch and biodegradable. Fabrics are colored with non-toxic plant dyes and infused with a proprietary plant-based antibacterial formula, which inhibits germ growth and neutralizes malodor.

    The result for families is a comforting, beautiful, aromatic cocoon wrapped around their loved one which will carry them to their final resting place. Shrouds can be part of family-guided death care, green funerals, or human composting. A shroud can even be part of a cremation. According to the Sanctum website, their mission is to enhance the sensory experience of alternative funerals for loved ones while eliminating toxins and pollutants from traditional burial practices.

    You can find the full selection of these Earth-friendly, elegant shrouds at sanctumshrouds.com.

    Read more about how Sanctum Shrouds came to be here.
