Tools for Community Advocates

Many after-death care nonprofits offer free downloads of materials you can use to give presentations and interviews in libraries, schools, places of worship, senior centers, civic organizations or other locations. Your efforts to spread the word about family- and community-led death care is greatly appreciated. You may also wish to keep abreast of news in the areas by joining their Facebook groups or sign up for monthly newsletters. To learn more about these organizations and dive deep into more information for yourself, find the links in the Resources sections on all our pages.
