Here’s Everything You Need to Get Started

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

The Atlantic
The Order of the Good Death was launched with the goal of building a movement of people who believe that the American death industry—funerals, crematories, cemeteries, mortuary schools—needs disrupting.

Crosscut
The death positive movement includes vital work that fights back against cultural appropriation, systemic racism, anti-LGBTQ sentiments, and general fear and lack of preparation for a certain event.
