I grew up a little sheltered from the world in a small rural town in Germany. Growing up I only had one living grandparent, but I was very close with my grandma, Anna, who passed away when I was 16 years old. She always said, “If ever I end up in a hospital, I will come out feet first.” And that...

I am proud to be part of this growing group of professionals dedicating their skills, time and expertise to support people before, during and after death of a loved one. Another aspect is my passion to play my part in making death part of life again. When and why did we let it happen to become such a taboo?

Some more photos from the laying out ceremony yesterday. Laying out means the remains of the process from human composition are spread in a special area to nourish the soil and help restore the area. The compost is mixed with seeds of native plants. The ceremony was very special and there are 16 more people currently awaiting their process of composition to be completed after it was legalized in Colorado last year. Colorado was the second state to do so. What an eco-friendly alternative to traditional burials or cremations.

This quote from the movie 'Patch Adams' speaks to my heart: "What's wrong with death sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity, and decency, and God forbid, maybe even humor? Death is not the enemy gentlemen"
