Ask A Funeral Director: End Of Life Planning
November 24 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Queer Death Salon is a virtual community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities.
End of life planning can be a daunting task, especially for the queer community. Participants will learn important factors to consider when doing their own end of life planning, review key documents, and talk about what to expect when working with a funeral director when a death occurs.
