NT Services: FAMILY EDUCATION AND SUPPORT
Our TRANSITION GUIDES provide education to families about options for green and holistic after-death care, demystifying what our culture has shrouded in mystique and taught us to fear. Our transition guidance trainings are attended by caregiver professionals and lay persons who hope to be resources for their own families, friends, and faith communities.
Our transition guides support families by offering EDUCATIONAL CONSULTATIONS, ideally in advance of death, to help families consciously prepare for end of life. These consults are to create after-death care plans that allow families to reclaim the tradition of caring for their own at death.
Our guides also provide as-needed SUPPORT to familes when death occurs, empowering them to lay out their own dead, and to hold home wakes and vigils
