Sooner or later it's gonna happen.
No, we're not talking about getting stuck in traffic on the Big-I, either.
In this special bonus Halloween episode, we talk with certified thanatologist Gail Rubin about what end of life looks like for New Mexicans, as well as her on-going efforts to help locals ready themselves for the end in highly practical ways. Enter: the Before I Die NM Festival - an annual multi-regional event which includes talks with local funeral home directors, visits to cemeteries and crematoria and a TON more.
Let's face it, it's going to happen, there's no getting out of this one. But with planning and an open mind, the minutia of the big day can be thoroughly figured out (hopefully) far in advance.

If you or someone you know is a local Burqueno creative, entrepreneur, or small business owner Linds & Ryan would love to consider an interview. It's your continual tips and leads which help us discover what's up around town! Seriously!
Thanks for listening and helping us spread the word,
Ciao
