Welcome to our community
Meaning in Life, Peace in Death, and Support for the Journey.
Our Northeast Kingdom Death Care Community is a place to turn when facing loss, grief, or end-of-life issues. As experienced community members we can share our personal insights and guidance. As a community we can work together to increase death literacy in the Northeast Kingdom. We strive to connect people with needed resources and offer educational workshops. We are based in Abenaki land in northeastern Vermont, also known as the Northeast Kingdom.

Our Background
Our desire to create a Northeast Kingdom network of community, care and resources focused on end of life grew out of our participation in Death Cafe gatherings in Greensboro, Albany and Glover. At a Death Cafe, people – often strangers at first – gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.
