Equal Deathcare

Equal Deathcare aims to provide the tools and knowledge to ensure everyone is respected in death, no matter who we are or who we love. The organization teaches marginalized communities how to safeguard themselves and loved ones left behind from unsupportive legal next of kin and indifferent funeral professionals. Equal Deathcare collects nationwide resources and connects people to the deathcare services they need when they need them. The group’s community members educate people about the funeral process, from end of life to bereavement aftercare for individuals and families traditionally left behind by mainstream funeral culture. Equal Deathcare is also committed to continuing research and education for professionals that addresses the unique needs of the LGBTQIA community by providing deathcare workers with a foundational basis of knowledge about how to best serve and support this beautifully diverse community.
