Nature can teach us how to accept death with grace and beauty, providing us with a sense of peace, understanding, and acceptance.

Crystals are not only beautiful pieces to look at, they are useful healing tools that hold life force energy. Crystals have been used for thousands of years in healing traditions, and modern science has proven their ability to conduct electricity. Crystals have unique properties that can be used to amplify the mind's intentions, ground chaotic energy, and connect to higher realms. Choosing the right crystal for you is a matter of intuition and understanding the two overarching qualities of amplifying or grounding energy.

The industrialization of death has led to the removal of the communal, spiritual, and healing aspects of the death experience for both the dying and those left behind. This has caused the death industry to become a booming business, with the cost of a funeral in Canada ranging from $3000 to $20,000 ($8,500 on average). However, there are an increasing number of natural and holistic methods to experience the dying process and what comes afterwards, such as living funerals, at-home wakes and funerals, and truly "green" methods of burial and cremation.
