Michigan Deathcare Collaborative: A Resource for End-of-Life Doulas

Michigan Deathcare Collaborative is a growing Michigan-based community resource for doulas, caregivers, and families seeking education, connection, and alternative approaches to end-of-life care. The collaborative offers a statewide directory of death doulas and holistic deathcare professionals, educational resources on topics such as home funerals, natural burial, advance care planning, and grief support, along with community events and advocacy efforts focused on compassionate, accessible, and community-centered deathcare throughout Michigan. Doulas can utilize this resource to build professional connections, locate Michigan-specific information, expand community education, and support individuals and families in making informed end-of-life decisions.
