Talking about death isn’t easy, but understanding your options can make a difficult time more manageable for you and your loved ones. In this informative and educational session on funerals and funeral planning, participants will learn about the key components of end-of-life arrangements, including traditional and alternative burials and cremations. You’ll learn what steps to take when someone you love unexpectedly passes away as well as how to celebrate your loved one’s life in a meaningful way. New and interesting trends and technologies in the death care industry will also be discussed. There will be time afterwards for Q & A.

Presented by Brooke Benjamin, a partner at Inclusive Funeral Care in Andersonville. She is a Chicago-born funeral director and celebrant with nearly 30 years of experience.

Registration is recommended but not required. Please register online or at the Edgewater Branch reference desk.

Held in partnership with the Edgewater Branch, Chicago Public Library.
