Many thanks to ACRS & SPL for hosting us and lawyer Emily Tyson-Shu for the first installment of our Ducks in a Row series, Estate Planning. We're glad to bring this vital program to your Club Bamboo members in Chinese and Vietnamese. See you in June for the next class!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all our trans siblings! For PMA and The Co-op Funeral Home, our trans staff are a vital and public-facing part of the work we do. We deeply understand the need for those we serve to feel seen and safe. We have Designated Agent forms available on our website, so you can ensure those who know and love YOU oversee your deathcare. You can also put your wishes in writing directly on a Disposition Authorization form.

Whether it is providing dignified and respectful deathcare, or offering low-cost tissue retrieval services for gender-affirming surgeries, you will be cared for by folks who understand your needs. Find us and say hi at TransPride June 26th!

Big thank you to Horizon House and the ever inspirational Nancy Niedzielski for having us last week to discuss eco-friendlier deathcare! We love coming to visit.

We're looking forward to more education tomorrow at ACRS as we kick off another Ducks in a Row series in partnership with Seattle Public Library, bringing our program to the Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) and Vietnamese speaking communities.

Our Terracon takeaway? Transparency! Throughout the two-day conference earlier this month, a theme emerged across panels and speeches, beyond natural organic reduction. Extolled over again was the honesty and integrity of host . We're as thrilled to have a partnership with the Auburn-based provider as the WA-State industry at large.

Giving Tuesday is here! Ok, so it's tomorrow, but I figured while you're online already, why not let you know our donation page is up and running. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ PMA truly exists thanks to our passionate members and supporters.

As a nonprofit, People's Memorial in the midst of fundraising season. Exec Director Casey reflects on the full year that our members and supporters have made possible! ❤️ From legal advocacy, Trans Pride, spending time with NOR providers, and being featured in the local news (plus more) Casey has kept BUSY!

Shout out to our Gift Casket winner Elaine Main, a fellow funeral director extraordinaire! We auctioned this beautiful blue handmade piece (donated by former PMA alum Char Carpenter) full of tickets to local art experiences at last month's The After Party and it went to a good home -- still waiting for the photos of what you've done with it, Elaine! 😜

The work we do is made all the more better by the work our community does! So much gratitude to the wonderful individuals and organizations who move deathcare forward everyday in loving and empowering ways.
