Well… this is a little outside my comfort zone—but grateful to be part of an incredible speaker lineup for NFDA’s Disposition Demystified event.

I’m newer to this space, but deeply committed to learning, sharing honestly, and helping make complicated conversations a little clearer (and maybe even lighter).

If you’re tuning in, I hope you walk away with something useful—and maybe a laugh or two along the way.

We’re proud to share that Tom Tierney, Owner, Operator, and Funeral Director of The Green Cremation, was recently featured on Great Day Connecticut, a local talk show spotlighting meaningful community stories.

During the segment, Tom discussed water cremation and why more families are choosing this gentle and dignified option. Water cremation is a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to flame cremation, using significantly less energy and producing fewer emissions, while honoring loved ones with care and respect.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to help educate our community about thoughtful end-of-life choices and the growing interest in greener, more conscious memorial options.
