Do you know what your disposition options are in Washington State and what they cost? Have you ever wondered about green burial options?

Join us for a look behind the funeral industry curtain to learn how to navigate this difficult process and save yourself time and money. We will explain cremation, burial (conventional and green/natural), alkaline hydrolysis (aquamation/water cremation), natural organic reduction (terramation/human composting), and full body donation.

Beverly Tryk and Rachel LeBlanc from People's Memorial Association (PMA) explain options for funeral care in Washington State, the decisions that need to be made when planning a funeral, and the paperwork needed to protect your wishes.

Founded 86 years ago in Seattle, PMA provides essential funeral education and advocacy services to all Washingtonians. They envision a future where everyone has access to after-death arrangements that reflect their personal values and resources. Learn more about People's Memorial Association.
