Home Funeral Guide Education and End of Life Doula Training

When considering an end-of-life doula training and home funeral guide training program, it's important to learn from someone who has direct, first-hand experience in the fields, and who then can impart the legal, social, and cultural details in a way that truly prepares the student for active practice. The Dying Year trainings provide and in-depth education for those who wish to learn more so that they can conduct before- and after-death care themselves, and for those who wish to assist families and individuals. Advance care planning facilitation is also offered as part of the foundation for end-of-life preparation.
