About this episode
“If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song”
These lyrics by The Band Perry offer a beautiful description of honoring a loved one who has passed. Our guest today, Dawn Walsh provides such a service for the people she cares for after they pass. Dawn is the Executive Director of The Lily House, a community home for living and dying in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Dawn came to ABODE to lead a workshop on after-death care and shrouding and sat down with Natalie while she was in town to talk about the work she does.
