Have you ever been curious about natural/green burial? Join us on November 7th in Ann Arbor for a free workshop to learn more about this practice and how you can begin planning for it. Artisan Hickory Nut Farmstead will discuss local cemeteries and little known options like death doulas, home funerals, a growing network of funerary artisans, and even how you can make your own burial vessels from a few common objects likely already adorning in your home.

More details in our bio.

How can the choices we make at the end of our lives better reflect our love and care for this Earth?

Join Michigan Deathcare Collaborative and Hickory Nut Farmstead for our second year celebrating over at Oakland County’s beautiful Earth Day Festival. We’ll have a wealth of information on deathcare better rooted in our ecology and local community, including information on natural burial, end-of-life doulas, home funerals, regional options and resources, and so much more. Funerary artisan Hickory Nut Farmstead will also bring along her green burial planners, plant-dyed shrouds, and native basketry willows for planting.

This family-friendly event brings together environmental organizations, small businesses, and community members committed to protecting our air, water, and future. The event will include a rally, march, and community fair with speakers, interactive activities, educational booths, and more.

We hope to see you there!

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. 🏳️‍⚧️

Visibility means more than being seen—it means being respected, affirmed, and protected at every stage of life.

That includes death care.

Trans people deserve dignity not only in how they live, but in how they are cared for and remembered after death. We do this by honoring chosen names, pronouns, identities, and chosen family in medical settings, funeral services, and memorials.

Too often, that dignity is denied.

So today, we're thinking about what real visibility looks like:
💜Being seen in life
💙Being respected in systems
🧡Being honored in death

Because everyone deserves to be known as who they truly are—always.
