Fall 2020 - Affiliate Spotlight

Sustainable Funeral [Now Fireless Cremation]

From the moment our Board of Directors met Ed Gazvoda of Sustainable Funeral, it was obvious we would have a mutually supportive relationship and appreciation for what each of us offers the end-of-life field. Ed invited us for a tour of Sustainable Funeral, his aqua cremation business in Arvada, back in 2019, and he taught us about his process and the environmental benefits. He is passionate about this work, and it shows! We loved the whole concept and totally support this choice for body disposition.

Then, in December, Ed so graciously hosted us as we held a networking event at Sustainable Funeral for end-of-life services. We had a great turnout and a wonderful evening of networking, education, and food and drink! We are thrilled to have Sustainable Funeral as an affiliate member of the Collaborative, and to be able to shine the September Spotlight on Ed Gazvoda and Sustainable Funeral!

Affiliate Spotlight - 4 Winds/5 Elements

Winter 2022

n 2019, after completing the rigorous requirements needed to add the “clinical” piece to an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), I made the decision to seek part time hospice work and open a part time counseling practice. I wanted to support adults experiencing life’s transitions, helping them to become empowered with tools and healing that would help ensure a richness in living that they may have doubted. I wanted to empower people to feel part of something meaningful again. To that end, I am also and End of Life Doula, and a Reiki Master, offering energy healing work to those who desire a different level of care.

Affiliate Spotlight - Be A Tree Cremation

Winter 2021

Like many in this work, Emily Nelson stumbled into death care before it developed into a deeper calling. She was exposed to death early and often in her younger years, starting with the loss of her birth mother as a small child, followed by grandparents, and then the loss of a close friend to war during college.
