From Space Flights to Forever Trees: Discover the New World of Memorial Options [CE Credit]
What Families Are Asking Hospice Teams in 2025—and
Created with Hospice Professionals, Inspired by Families
Families today are asking hospice teams about memorial options that didn’t even exist a few years ago—and the answers are changing the way we think about end-of-life care.
From sending ashes into space to growing a "forever tree" that becomes a living tribute, to turning remains into sparkling memorial diamonds, the choices are more meaningful and creative than ever – and all of them can cost less than a traditional funeral.
This free, 1-hour "virtual lunch & learn" webinar was designed with input from hospice social workers, nurses, and counselors to give you practical tools for guiding these conversations. You’ll learn what’s available in California right now, what families are most curious about, and how to help them make confident, personalized decisions.
