Need to talk with someone about death but don't know what to say?
Death is a taboo topic – but we need to talk about it!
Death Literacy is designed to ease you into the topic through the history of how death in the US got to be the way that it is.
We'll cover questions like:
- Why do modern cemeteries look like they do?
- What's up with Victorian death portraits?
- What options are there beyond a traditional funeral?
By the end, you'll have insights into American traditions and conversation starters to kick off the talks you need to have.
