I3 Presents Victoria Spence - Living with Death

Cultivating a healthy relationship with death & dying and navigating the funeral industry.

The Institute of Mortal Ideas Brings you Victoria Spence of Life Rites – a Holistic Funeral Director, Celebrant, & Mortality Maverick:

“Living With Death” – a discussion on how to integrate a healthy view of our mortality into our lives, how to navigate the legalities of dying in Australia, how to create less expensive & more meaningful funerals, and how to reclaim death & dying from big corporate entities and back into our own hands.

Victoria will offer practical skills and advice for how we can offer comfort and support to people who are dying, and how to create space in our lives for grief & mourning. We will examine profound questions such as: How to talk with children about death, how to honour the dead throughout the year, and how to create a joyful relationship with our own mortality. We will also be discussing the many new & fascinating changes taking place within the Death & Dying space – from eco-burials to cooling beds which allow people to stay at home after they have died.
