LAUREN

Lauren is a Holistic Funeral Director and Death Educator. She worked as a natural and holistic funeral director in Colorado starting in a corporately run funeral home to green funeral homes offering services from natural burial to water cremation, home funerals …and now Natural Organic Reduction (NOR). She has served on the board of directors for the National Home Funeral Alliance as well as volunteered with Hospice.

Lauren is passionate about welcoming community and family involvement into death space, as she knows firsthand how doing so creates strong containers for the processing of grief, which is simply love without a home. When not honoring the dead or the earth we eventually return to, Lauren tends to her two children and her urban farm at the base of a mountain.
