Art of Dying Conversation presents Holly Pruett on March 28
MANZANITA — Holly
Pruett, life-cycle celebrant,
home funeral guide and con-
versation leader, will speak
about green burials from 3 to
5 p.m. Tuesday, March 28, at
the Hoffman Center for the
Arts. Admission to the event
is $5, along with a requested
honorarium of $5 for Pruett.
Pruett will discuss natu-
ral, green burials to explore
how our deaths can reflect
the environmental values.
This will be an early coastal
celebration of Earth Day.
When asked why natural
burial is becoming a topic
for consideration, the River
View Cemetery in Portland,
where natural burial and
funeral options are available,
notes:
“There are several
reasons: the desire to have
a simpler, environmental-
ly-friendly burial; and the
desire to return to the earth
as quickly as possible, with-
out unnatural barriers such
as embalming, sealed metal
caskets, or steel-reinforced
concrete burial vaults.”
Pruett, an interfaith
minister, is a consultant
and Life-Cycle Celebrant
who brings people togeth-
er to help prepare for, live
with and talk about death.
A facilitator with Oregon
Humanities’ Talking About
Dying program, she led
the “Death: OK, Let’s Talk
About It” conference in
Portland in 2015. Since
early 2013 she has served as
principal organizer of PDX
Death Café. She founded the
Death Talk Project to foster
useful,, honest conversation
about how we die, how we
mourn and how we care for
and remember our dead.
With a master’s degree
from the Leadership Institute
of Seattle, Pruett is certi-
fied in Thanatology: Death,
Dying & Bereavement by
the Association for Death
Education and Counseling.
The Art of Aging/Dying
Series is a program of the
Hoffman Center for the Arts
and will be held at the Hoff-
man Center (across from
Manzanita Library at 594
Laneda Avenue.) For further
information contact Claudia
Johnson, claudiaejohnson@
