A Few Notes:
- In 2023, I started to charge an introductory rate of $35 an hour for deathwork. In 2024, I will raise that rate to $50 an hour so that the work can be a bit more sustainable for me. If this rate is not sustainable for you, I can offer you alternate forms of exchange, like trade, payment plans and reduced rates. Please contact me to make an alternate arrangement.
- While learning about settler ancestor legacy and reparations, I am donating a percentage of all income from this work to support the projects of the Wabanaki Confederacy, the descendants of the original stewards of the land in Maine, which include Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot peoples. I have recently donated to the Wabanaki Alliance and the Land Peace Foundation.
