We invite you to join us as we gather as simple humans in a sacred, natural setting to slow down and reflect. Nestled in the foothills of El Cajon, Singing Hills Memorial Park is a cemetery surrounded by rolling hills, quiet paths, and wide skies - an ideal place to reflect on life, death, and everything in between.

As the day softens toward evening, we’ll settle in for a soothing sound bath with Brent Honnerlaw - an experience rooted in ancient vibration and present-moment awareness. Not therapy. Not a support group. Just humans, in community, honoring the full cycle of being alive.

March 15 4:00-5:00 pm
El Cajon CA
$25 RSVP link in bio or Venmo

Come as early as 3:00 to put down your mat and wander, journal, or meditate. We will be gathering near the flag pole in the center of the cemetery. 🌳💕

What does it mean to Do Death Different?
it’s about crafting and end of life experience that reflects who you are, and the life you lived. For some that’s having a funeral in their own home, for others that selecting a disposition option that reflects their lifestyle. #

Death care is changing rapidly, unfortunately, many of our funeral homes don’t stay on top of the emerging trends. Things like water cremation, green burial, organic reduction, and home funerals are not offered by most mortuaries or funeral homes.

The Death Network is a collective of death workers and funeral professionals who want to help you plan an end of life experience that is authentic and reflective of you.

Tell us…. How would you Do Death Differently?

At The Death Network, we acknowledge that grief doesn’t only come with death. It arrives in quieter, everyday forms -

The loss of a job.
A relationship ending.
Letting go of a lifelong dream.
The version of ourselves we thought we’d be by now.

Join us for an in-person grief workshop in San Diego focused on these everyday griefs. In a world that may feel heavy right now, personal grief can feel amplified by collective uncertainty. This workshop offers space to name what’s real, connect in community, and learn practical ways to navigate the grief woven into daily life.

Hosted by grief coaches Wendy and Claudia of The Death Network. griefguide

🎉The San Diego Death Network continues to expand, and we’re excited to welcome Claudia Faerber to the collective!

Claudia’s work is rooted in compassionate presence and the belief that grief doesn’t disappear - it becomes part of us. As a Grief to Purpose trauma-informed grief coach and INELDA-trained death doula, she gently supports people in tending to the parts of grief we often try to outrun, allowing space for insight, safety, and transformation. She offers one-on-one coaching, monthly grief talking circles, and trauma-informed workshops, alongside her end-of-life work supporting the dying and their loved ones. Based in San Diego, Claudia shares her life with two devoted canine companions, Chelsea the greyhound and Hazel the toy poodle. Scan the QR code above to learn more about Claudia. 🧡

At The Death Network, we believe death care takes a community and our collective reflects that. As we continue to grow, we’re honored to bring together death doulas, funeral directors, grief coaches and others working side by side to offer a true continuum of care when it’s needed most. Curious about joining the collective or starting one where you live? DM us!

Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) is a legal end-of-life option in California for eligible terminally ill patients, yet many people have questions about what it is, how it works, and how it’s accessed.

Join us for an open, educational conversation about Medical Aid in Dying with Donald Moore MD We’ll unpack what MAiD is, how it works, and how access is navigated. This workshop offers transparent, accurate information in a calm, respectful space, whether you’re planning ahead for yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to understand this important end-of-life option.

Together, we’ll discuss eligibility for terminally ill patients, how MAiD works, the role of medical providers, and how the medication is obtained. There will be time for questions, reflection, and thoughtful dialogue.

This is an educational event, not a support group, and all are welcome.

As direct cremation becomes more common in the U.S., many families are unintentionally skipping one essential part of the dying process: the pause.

The pause is an intentional moment to come together - before, during, or after death - to honor the transition, to say goodbye, and to allow our hearts, minds, and bodies to gently register that our person has died. This tender moment is also known as a vigil.

The Death Network collective held a vision for what this kind of moment could be - and how it could offer friends & family the space to reconcile the death of their person and begin to grieve together. Partnering with Savannah Turhan of Orchid Cremations became the magic that allowed this vision to take form.

We take this role seriously! All Death Network doulas who guide the vigils are also certified Funeral Arrangers with Orchid Cremation. This creates a smooth, compassionate bridge from hospice care to final disposition - no handoffs, no fragmentation, just continuity of care.

Together, we support families at home or in the hospital, creating intentional space for presence, ritual, and community at the end of life.

This work naturally complements hospice, and we’re excited to be offering an open house for our hospice partners to learn more about this unique offering.

In San Diego, there are over 200 hospice options - wow!! As death doulas out in the community, we’re often asked who we know and who we trust. Referrals matter deeply to us, it’s important that we’ve seen the work with our own eyes.

We recently spent time with LightBridge Hospice & Palliative Care, and we were genuinely blown away. Their robust integrative therapy program, thoughtful offerings, and the way they show up for families sets them apart. From honoring veterans, their Jewish Hospice program and to helping fulfill end-of-life wishes with their Simple Gifts program, every detail is led with intention.

LightBridge leads with their heart - and it shows in the quality of care they provide. We’re grateful to know them and confident in sharing their name when families ask. And…. they are one of a handful of Gold Seal recipients from the Joint Commission! 💫

We are thrilled to work with alongside the LightBridge team and reshape deathcare in California 🩷

🌳 Green burial isn’t new. It’s how we used to bury the dead for most of human history.
So how did we drift so far from our roots?

Our bodies are designed to decompose, to return to the earth, to feed the cycle of life. Yet modern funeral practices interrupt that process with chemicals, containers, and systems built on profit rather than acknowledging the natural circle of life.

Green and conservation burial invite us to restore balance. To honor death as a natural, ecological act. To let our final choice align with the way nature actually works.

Join us for a guided conversation on green and conservation burial and explore how returning to the earth can be an act of integrity - for our bodies and the planet.
