"A
New Approach to Death in the 21st
Century"
A pan-death symposium
The
pan-death symposium — held on
February 22, 2014 in Victoria —
was a wonderful event on the leading-edge
approaches to the pan-death process.
The primary focus was the developing
support systems for people who wish
to die at home, want a more person-centred
style of care,
and/or desire a greener approach to
their final disposition.
Ten
presenters — covering a range
of of Victoria-area innovators —
spoke about key services to dying
people and their families/friends,
throughout the 7 stages of the pan-death
continuum.
They covered what is truly new, or
a return to ancient ways,
in their various fields.
CINDEA
is happy to provide information on
how this pan-death symposium was developed
to any organization who would like
to organize one for their own local
area. Please contact us, or phone
Pashta MaryMoon at (250) 383-4065.

Testimonial
My
family used Pashta MaryMoon's
services before and after
the recent passing of our
mother. While
Pashta provides many services,
for us, she was a support
for both my mother and us
children before the passing
as well as after. With
her help we planned both my
mom's woodland green burial
funeral for close friends
and family, as well as her
ceremony — open to everyone
— later that afternoon. Pashta
was the master of ceremonies
for both events.
Death
is not something I had very
much experience with before
my mother got ill. Pashta's
experience and level of comfort
with the dying process made
it easier for the entire family.
Her gentle nature
helped us plan and organize
an event no one looks forward
to. Her ability
to bring our family together
to organize in a way that
worked for everyone was amazing. The
support she showed my mom
in her final months was truly
a blessing. The
support she showed me as I
cared for my mom full-time
leading up to her death gave
me the strength and self belief
to realize that I could really
do this.
Pashta
has an amazing way with people. She
made an effort to get to know
as many friends and family
as possible before the passing
so she would be a familiar
face at the funeral she was
leading. The
funeral and Ceremony were
beautiful, personal and deeply
moving. Pashta's
kindness, support and help
let our family be at peace
before the passing and feel
taken care of after.
From
all of us we can't thank her
enough for everything and
would like to recommend her
for anyone looking for a similar
experience. (DS,
daughter)
