Episode 18 - On Death Part IV - Your Own Good Death with Michelle Acciavatti


Listen Later

In today's episode, Jules speaks with Michelle Acciavatti. Michelle is a funeral director and an End of Life Specialist working in Vermont. She is a board member of the National Funeral Home Alliance, president, and co-founder of Vermont Natural Burial, she is president of Green Burial Vermont, and she is a founding member of the Collective for Radial Death Studies.

She and I spoke about her role as a death doula, her role as a funeral director, and the general labor of death. As you'll hear in our conversation, we talk about death from many angles, from the arranging of a funeral to guiding people through their end of life transition, and there's even some radical politics thrown in there.
