Life as we know it is changing, and so too is death. From death doulas to death cafes, bespoke funerals, and human composting, Grave Matters is your crash course in the end-of-life revolution. In this first episode, hear a fireside chat with one Australian woman leading the field. Bec Lyons is an end-of-life doula, independent funeral director, death literacy educator and family-led death care advocate.

Coinciding with National Advanced Care Planning Week, Bec Lyons launches her book A Heartfelt Undertaking and chats with Joel Rheinberger, the host of Afternoons on ABC Radio Hobart.

Bec shares her passion for breaking down any taboo concerning death, and details of her incredible research on how Western society can learn more about reconnecting body preparation with death rituals and natural burial options.

In this episode of Deadly Serious Conversations, Bec talks to celebrant Fiona Garrivan about home funeral, life and death.
