About Marilee Parsons:
In Marilee's perfect world, no one would die without a written plan detailing their desires, easily accessible to the ones left behind, previously discussed openly and funded realistically.
But we’re not in the perfect world. So until then, it’s Marilee’s mission to kick down the fear and taboos that block planning and good open conversations about death in families and to evangelize for preparedness until having an end-of-life plan is as standard as having good term life insurance and a will.
Her personal passions in deathcare focus on home funerals, alternative/natural funeral practices, and end of life spirituality.
You can learn more and find all those cool checklists Marilee shares in this episode at www.lateryall.com AND she actually means it when she says to reach out and contact her - please feel free to contact her with ANY questions - she is here to support you in the last of you "Excellent Adventure in this Lifetime", which is, of course, is death.
