  • 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

  • Your death matters. You can choose something that will reflect the values and beliefs that you held in your life, and translate them into your death. What you choose to do, is your final act, your final gesture on this earth. It does matter.

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