SUMMARY:Return Home: An Inside Look at Terramation
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to meet death with love\, purpose\, and a deep respect for the earth? 💚 Join us on October 20th at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT for a very special webinar to find out! We’re incredibly excited to introduce you to two of the hearts behind Return Home: Katey and Mandy. Together\, they bring decades of experience and a shared passion for transforming deathcare into a healing\, empowering\, and natural process. \nJoin Katey and Mandy as they dive deep into the beautiful\, natural process of terramation. They’ll answer all your questions and share how this choice can be a final\, meaningful act for you and our planet. \nA licensed funeral director from both Washington and England\, Katey found her way to Return Home after a decade in traditional funeral service. For her\, terramation is about stewardship—of the earth and of the families she serves. She builds true\, meaningful relationships over the 60-day process\, guiding families without the pressure of sales. Outside of work\, you can find her gardening with her dog Dixie Barbara or exploring the PNW with her nephews. Her mission? Equal and easy access for everyone in every walk of life to quality\, approachable deathcare and death education. Meanwhile\, with nearly 15 years as a licensed funeral director\, Mandy’s passion for compassionate care naturally grew into a dedication to green death care. Now\, as Return Home’s preneed coordinator\, she helps families plan for an eco-friendly and meaningful end-of-life journey from her family farm in Minnesota. \n📅 Date: October 20th\n⏰ Time: 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET\n💚 Cost: Sliding scale options available!

SUMMARY:NHFA September 2025 Webinar: Creating Meaningful Rituals for Families After Cremation
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 30th at 8 pm ET for an informative webinar that explores how end-of-life professionals can guide families in creating meaningful post-cremation rituals that honor both memory and place. We’ll discuss cultural and historical approaches to scattering\, practical considerations for helping families choose the right setting\, and creative ways to weave ritual into everyday landscapes. \nAs a case study\, we’ll look at Farmstead Scattering Garden—a fourth-generation working farm that has become a sacred space for scattering cremains by mail. Amy Bridger co-founded Farmstead Scattering Garden with her husband\, John\, on his family’s fourth-generation working cattle farm in northwestern Pennsylvania\, where they live with their two teenage children. \nParticipants will leave with practical tools\, inspiring examples\, and resources to help families move beyond cremation toward meaningful acts of remembrance.

SUMMARY:NHFA Webinar - Sacred Connections: Designing Home Funerals as Ritual Acts
DESCRIPTION:What if death wasn’t an ending—but a sacred transition woven with ritual\, love\, and ancestral wisdom? \nJoin us for a transformative community deathcare webinar where we’ll explore how to create meaningful home funerals rooted in ancestral wisdom\, natural magick\, and spiritual direction! This session will explore the importance of including hands-on elements like ritual washing\, altar building\, storytelling circles\, as well as incorporating continuing bonds in memorial rituals. \nA practicing witch and Pagan for over 40 years\, Silent is an end-of-life doula trained through INELDA and a Spiritual Director at Cherry Hill Seminary. He provides deep listening\, reflective questions\, and integrative practices like journaling and meditation\, enabling others to uncover clarity on their spiritual paths without relying on prescribed answers. From vigil planning and psychopomp rituals to ancestor remembrances and legacy creation\, Silent helps others walk the sacred passage with wisdom\, ritual\, and heart.
