About MeMy name is Rachel, I'm a lifelong Alaskan and animal lover. After spending nearly a decade working with the deceased and bereaved through the facilitation of anatomical donation, I've been profoundly impacted by the potential for end-of-life decisions to set the stage for the grief that inevitably follows. I think it's incredibly important that people have access to a diverse suite of deathcare services so they can make choices for themselves, their loved ones, and their pets that will be personally meaningful. For that reason I proudly serve on the Board of Directors for Alaska Natural Burial and the Alaska End-of-Life Alliance, and I am proud to bring Water Cremation to Southcentral Alaska through my small business, Flameless Cremation Services. |
