Join us as we explore the groundbreaking work of Awake in transforming cremated remains into a sustainable legacy. In this episode we sit down with Lauren Andrew, Co-Founder of Awake, as we dive into the environmental impact of traditional funerary practices and learn about the innovative solutions they bring to the deathcare industry. Discover how Awake is creating eco-friendly memorials, from scattering gardens to memorial forests, and offering meaningful choices for honouring loved ones.
We also discuss the importance of open conversations around end of life, the challenges of pre-planning, and the value of creating personalized traditions that reflect individual and family values.
If you’re curious about alternative burial options, or how to approach this topic with your family, this episode is for you.
