Death Doula Days

Death Doula Days

Congressional Cemetery hosted visitors for Death Doula Days on Saturdays mornings throughout 2023 with a weekly rotating slate of different death positive programs, activities, and discussions.

What is a Death Doula?

Death Doulas, or “end of life doulas,” are trained, non-clinical supporters of dying people and their families. Death doulas offer support with telling one’s life story, planning for death, and vigil at the end of life.
