Here’s Everything You Need to Get Started

The Order hope(s) to get us all a little more comfortable with the idea of death, the rituals around it and the inevitability of it all.

The Smithsonian Magazine
If the family is involved with care for the dead body, it can completely transform how they feel about the death; they can feel empowered, they can feel connected and they can feel like they were there at the very end.

KCRW
The Order’s growing “death movement” is a reaction against the sanitization of death that has persisted in American culture since the 1800s.
