Death Work

My Death Work is a return to right-relationship between Life + Death. It is a returning of our ancestral rights to home visitations, wakes, and funerals in our communities, one family at a time. And, it aims to share and educate on what holistic and natural death care can look like in our families and homes.

My death work is a recollection… a restoration… a reckoning

Home Funerals, Visitations and Wakes

Up until about 170 years ago, we tended to our dying + dead loved ones in the home. Home funerals, visitations, and wakes are our ancestral right, and they are the most beautiful + intimate way of saying goodbye. In Death, our people are here one moment + gone in the next. Home funerals provide several points of connection in between those two moments, that support the mental, emotional + spiritual process of grieving. It is my honor to guide your family through the most sacred final rites + return this custom to our communities, one family at a time.

If your end-of-life needs are urgent, please text or call 615.669.3164. Expect Kenya to call or text you back, and we will go from there.

If you have time for planning, please email me to schedule a free 30-minute consultation + we will go from there.

Kenya is available from 10am-10pm central time daily + she will text or call you back as soon as possible. If your call or text comes in outside of those hours, she will call you back on the next day. This first thirty-minute phone call is complimentary + her hourly rate is $144.
