LIVING LONGER
doesn't mean
LIVING FOREVER.
Plan for "When." Prepare for "What if."
Guidance for the personal and practical decisions that shape what happens at the end -- from your final days and what's done with your body, to your memorialization and the legacy you leave behind.
My Great Goodbye
Death Literacy
Many people are "doing death differently," but most people don't know what they don't know — about green burials and home funerals, medical aid in dying and VSED, human composting and death tech. Shari has done the research so you don't have to.
Curated Options
The number of funeral, burial, and memorial options available today is overwhelming. Shari narrows them down to what's relevant, available locally, and aligned with your wishes and budget.
An Actionable Plan
Planning sessions are the foundation of a personalized Goodbye Plan that focuses on the bigger picture surrounding death and dying, with support to help you move forward.
Why Plan Ahead
Whether you are 36, 63, or 93, tomorrow is not promised.
Planning for the inevitable and preparing for the unexpected is easier when you're not in crisis -- when you can calmly clarify what matters most and thoughtfully consider the choices that reflect your values and fit within your budget.
The process can bring a profound sense of relief while also giving you a new perspective -- one that inspires you to appreciate every day and live and love more fully.
You'll become more intentional about how and with whom you spend your time, and more inclined to take care of any "unfinished business" so you can move forward -- and unltimately say goodbye -- with fewer regrets.
In other words, planning ahead can help you have a better death and live your best life.
Because planning for death isn't just about preparing to die. It's also about making the most of the life you have left.
A Gift to Your Loved Ones.
Peace of Mind for Yourself.

CREDENTIALS & AFFILIATIONS
Shari provided great info and tons to consider. Would have taken hours to find myself, if at all...
SUSAN C.
I already have a cemetery plot and thought it would be easiest for my kids if I told them to do whatever they want for my funeral. After my session with Shari, I realized that it would be kinder to them if I made all those decisions now.
IRENE B.
Shari provides a terrific overview of available death care options. Her true gift is in being able to add a light-hearted touch to make these difficult conversations and decisions a little bit easier.
