Rebroadcast: Natural burial and walking toward the end
This Is Nashville is off for Memorial Day. We are rebroadcasting our episode about Larkspur, which originally aired April 14.
Death is something that’s sure. It’s also something many of us avoid. Certain people, though, have made facing death part of their everyday life.
In an opening feature, we visit Larkspur Conservation – one of the only conservation burial grounds in the country as we say goodbye to one man’s son. Then we speak with a woman who recently buried her dad at Larkspur as well as ordained ministers from different traditions about how they are plugging into, and guiding us through, the dying time.
But first, WPLN environmental reporter Caroline Eggers tells us how heavy rainfall and frequent flooding have made landslides a new threat to our region.
Guests:
Caroline Eggers, WPLN environmental reporter
Lindsey Baydoun, photographer who recently lost her father, Cory Fite
Becca Stevens, speaker, social entrepreneur, author, priest, founder of 10 nonprofit justice initiatives including Larkspur Conservation, and president of Thistle Farms
Chaplain Omarán Lee, pastoral counselor, chaplain at Nashville General Hospital at Meharry
Rev. Jeannie Alexander, co-founder and co-director of No Exceptions Prison Collective, death doula in training
