Why do we have such a tough time acknowledging that death, is part of life?
If you talk about death, you might be considered morbid, or worry that you'll upset someone. But is our fear of planning for death, actually preventing us from celebrating the life our loved ones lived?
In this episode, we hear from two rural women who are changing the way we approach death, to better honour the lives of the deceased and help those left behind grieve:
* Becky Barry - marriage celebrant turned funeral celebrant, from the Wimmera, VIC.
Becky is breaking away from more traditional services to help families host the kind of celebration their loved one would have loved to attend. From bottles of champagne, to AC/DC music... it's all about celebrating how someone lived, not how they died.
* Colleen Hughson - freelance filmmaker and creator of 'legacy videos' in Warrnambool, VIC.
Colleen is helping to preserve the stories and memories of loved ones, by creating meaningful videos, by interviewing someone while they're still alive. These videos may be played at funerals, or viewed by families later, as a special keepsake and piece of family history.
