Talking to children about death isn’t easy. Honesty, love, and space to feel make all the difference. Kids don’t need metaphors. They need clear words, reassurance, and permission to ask questions in their own time.

At Sparrow, we believe it’s not about having all the answers. It’s about walking beside them through the questions.

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule.
It doesn’t hit all at once, and it doesn’t end after a few weeks.

You might cry one minute, laugh the next, and feel nothing the one after that. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

Grief moves like a wave, not a straight line.
Let it move through you. Let it carry you.
We’re here when you need a hand.

No one teaches you what to do when someone dies.
So here it is, the very first steps.
You don’t need to memorize them. Just save this post.
If you ever need us, we’re a phone call away. Always.

Today at a sister brought her brother’s urns in. He was 35 and died from alcoholism. She’s heartbroken but believes he’s no longer suffering. As someone who’s been sober for longer than he lived it broke my heart. 💔 the letters we have hanging on our family room walls are pretty heartbreaking, too. But we love having them with us.

After a death, it can feel like everything moves too fast—paperwork, decisions, expectations.

At Sparrow, we believe in slowing down.

You don’t have to rush to make every decision right away. You don’t have to follow a script. You don’t even have to know exactly what you want.

We’re here to help you take a breath, ask questions, and choose what feels right—for you, your family, and your loved one.

From simple cremation to natural viewings, from at-home rituals to modern services, we’ll walk beside you every step of the way.

If you’re navigating a loss or planning ahead, reach out. We’re ready when you are.

Death Doulas Make a Difference
A recent NIH-supported study confirms what we’ve long known at Sparrow: Death Doulas offer compassionate, personalized support that eases the end-of-life journey—for both the dying and their loved ones.

At Sparrow, we are proud to collaborate with experienced Death Doulas who offer presence, ritual, and comfort in life’s final chapter. Whether guiding families through the final days or helping with body care after death, they are an essential part of the care team.

If you or someone you love is approaching end of life and would benefit from the support of a Death Doula, please reach out. We’re here to connect you with trusted resources and support you.

Sometimes grief is quiet.
Sometimes it’s loud.
Sometimes it just is — sitting beside you in the middle of a hot summer afternoon.

At Sparrow, we honor all the ways grief shows up. Whether you need space to gather, someone to guide you through the next steps, or just a kind voice on the phone, we’re here. Reach out anytime.

We love our one-of-a-kind urns made for Sparrow by LA-based ceramic artist Bari Ziperstein of BZIPPY.

These pieces are bold, modern, and full of soul. They’re not your typical urns—they’re sculptural, intentional, and meant to hold space for love, loss, and memory in a way that feels truly personal.

This collaboration means a lot to us. It brings together everything we care about: thoughtful design, quality craft, and changing the way we think about death care.

Come see them in person at our shop in Greenpoint: 159 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn.

When does a series on a awful set of crimes that changed the funeral industry and part of the twisted story is the perpetrator, David Sconce, conspired to kill the man we bought from. I knew it was dark but not this dark.
