Natural, legal, and innovative after-death care options are transforming the paradigm of the existing funeral industry, helping families and communities recover their instinctive capacity to care for a loved one after death.

When we bring art and beauty, meaningful ritual, and joy to ease our loss and sorrow, we are greening the gateway of death and returning home to ourselves, to the wisdom of our bodies, and to the earth.

NA SUÉCIA, existe uma antiga tradição chamada döstädning – dö significa "morte", städning, "limpeza". O sentido é bastante literal: limpar, remover, se desfazer ou desapegar de objetos que, mesmo adorados, com a nossa morte vão se transformar em um fardo para amigos e entes queridos. Essa tarefa de eliminar pertences em vida – descrita como revigorante pelos escandinavos e como inusitada por pessoas de outras culturas – pode ser realizada a qualquer momento, em qualquer idade, porém sempre o mais cedo possível, antes que outros tenham que fazer isso por nós.

Der Moment des Loslassens – Was passiert, wenn der Körper stirbt? Der Tod ist ein Moment, der für viele von uns mit Angst, Ungewissheit und Trauer behaftet ist. Vielleicht hast auch Du Dich schon gefragt, was genau in dem Moment geschieht, in dem der Körper stirbt. Was passiert mit der Seele? Wohin geht sie? Ist der Tod wirklich das Ende, oder nur der Übergang in eine andere Daseinsform?

Burnt out and in need of retreat, Jenn Ashworth emerged from lockdown with a compulsive need to walk—and to walk away. Armed with little more than the knowledge imparted by a two-day orienteering course and a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright's writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive—facing an epic journey of his own—Jenn's pilgrimage soon becomes more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for oneself.

How do you find a way forward through that kind of darkness? Living in the light again probably seems impossible.

In elderhood, the health care system has a narrow view of how to provide care. It focuses on extending a patient's life at all costs, with an over-reliance on machines and procedures, instead of caring holistically for the person. Accordingly, many of us will likely spend our final weeks in long-term care facilities or an ICU. Dying at home, peacefully, and surrounded by family is almost impossible in our world—and our fear of death is a major contributor to this impossibility.

¿Cómo morir? La pregunta suena de mal agüero en nuestra frenética actualidad. Vivimos como si no fuéramos a morir. Y, sin embargo, hemos de afrontar el tema cuanto antes mejor, gracias a la ayuda de la filosofía. Frente al miedo a la muerte, el estoicismo nos propone una liberación: no miremos para otro lado. Séneca nos dice que para no temer a la muerte es necesario tenerla presente, que «se niega a vivir quien se niega a morir».

Una exploración profundamente convincente de la industria de la muerte, las personas que trabajan en ella y lo que les llevó allí. Estamos rodeados de muerte.
