With Tamara MacIntyre, End-of-Life Doula

Join us for a conversation on sustainable after-death care, where Tamara shares her journey into weaving willow coffins and the role of handcrafted, biodegradable vessels in green burials. We’ll explore how these practices honor both the deceased and the environment, offering families meaningful, eco-conscious choices. This session will provide insights into natural burial options and how doulas can support clients in making informed, sustainable end-of-life decisions.

She is the inaugural Program Director of MAiDHouse Victoria, a death educator, and an artisan of woven willow coffins, dedicated to increasing death literacy and supporting individuals through aging, illness, and end-of-life planning.
