Stay posted for information about our September and October sessions of this series.\n\nDuring this virtual session\, we’ll learn about evolving trends and options in body disposition. Learn the key differences between traditional and green cremation and burial\, emerging technologies in the death care industry\, and innovative approaches like Organic Human Reduction (composting) as well as body donation to science. Whether you’re planning ahead or simply curious\, this session offers valuable insights into meaningful\, environmentally conscious\, and science-supportive choices.\n\nAbout the presenter: Brooke Benjamin is a partner at Inclusive Funeral Care (IFC)\, a lower-cost alternative to the funeral home system. \nA Chicago-born Funeral Director and Celebrant with nearly 30 years of experience\, her main purpose in life is to be useful to others. She finds people endlessly\, boundlessly fascinating. \nIFC performs burials\, funerals\, cremations\, celebrations of lives\, pet services\, dispositions\, merchandise. Green Options available. \nIFC ‘s philosophy: beyond disposition of human remains\, The Law\, and spiritual/religious imperatives\, whatever path a family chooses should promote (rather than preclude) healing and preserve an individual’s memory. \nSome clients don’t give one iota about healing or memory and value efficiency/affordability above all\, and that’s fine\, too. Different strokes for different folks\, and this should not be highway robbery. \nwww.InclusiveFuneralCare.com \n\n \n \n\nWhat is the Chicago Area Villages Collaborative? \n\n\nThere are eight “Villages” in the Chicago area\, all part of the International Village Movement—grassroots organizations of older adults designed to help people age and thrive in their communities. Each Village reflects its community and leadership. \n\n\nWe invite you to contact a Village in your area to learn more about what we do and how you can join. \n\n\nSouth Loop\, Bronzeville: South Loop Village\, https://www.southloopvillage.org/ \n\n\nOak Park/ River Forest: Arbor West Neighbors\, https://www.arborwestneighbors.org/join \n\n\nSouth Side/Hyde Park: Hyde Park Village\, https://www.chpv.org/ \n\n\nFar North Side: Edgewater Village Chicago https://www.evchicago.org/ \n\n\nNorth Shore suburbs: North Shore Village https://www.nsvnetwork.org/ \n\n\nEdgewater Beach Apartments: LiveAgeWell\, https://www.liveagewell.com/ \n\n\nStreeterville\, River North\, Gold Coast\, Loop: Skyline Village Chicago https://www.skylinevillagechicago.org/ \n\n\nLincoln Park\, Near North side: The Village Chicago https://www.thevillagechicago.org/ \n\n\n  \n\n
