About the speaker
Maura Bobbitt is a death rights advocate and mortuary scientist. After working in environmental conservation and nature education, she made the choice to become a licensed funeral director in order to create access to death practices that are community-focused, radically accepting, sustainable, and divested from capitalist forces. Maura believes that good deaths help us lead good lives, and that accepting our deaths is an act of revolution.
