Some conversations are long overdue. This Wednesday, we’re having one of them, live, openly, and with some of the most forward-thinking voices in regenerative practice.
Thereafter founder Debbie Malynn is thrilled and honoured in equal measure to be joining a progressive and provocative panel discussion on Regenerative Death, exploring how the cultural of death and dying is changing, and how we moving beyond tradition to engage new, sustainable practices that reposition death with the social and ecological architecture.
Aura Murillo, & Louise Skajem, founders of Resting Reef, ward-winning memorial service that transforms human ashes into reef structures to restore marine biodiversity; Pure and beautiful evidence of the power when tech meets nature.
This is a conversation about more than funeral practice. It’s about ecology, legacy, and what it means to be part of nature’s cycle rather than apart from it. It’s about the growing death positive movement, the increasingly urgent need to redesign our exits to protect ourselves and the planet for future generations.
“Death, approached differently, needn’t be an ending. It can be a contribution,
to the planet, to the living, to the generations to come”
Debbie will be joining two pioneering practitioners whose work is reshaping how we think about business, design, and our relationship with the natural world:
UK’s leading platform for regenerative business and climate innovation
Executive Education & Knowledge Exchange Lead, Royal College of Art
Together, this panel spans the full arc of regenerative thinking, from the ecological economics of climate innovation to the human-centred design of how we experience endings. It promises to be a conversation that challenges assumptions, opens new possibilities, and offers something genuinely useful to take away.
What you’ll take away
Explore how we might move beyond conventional burial methods, not to erase what’s meaningful, but to evolve it. Discover sustainable alternatives that honour both the person and the planet.
Learn how our choices at the end of life can become a genuine final contribution to the natural world and what the science and practice behind truly regenerative memorials looks like.
This isn’t a lecture, it’s a live conversation. Bring your questions, your perspective, and your own relationship with these ideas. The movement around death and sustainability is growing, and your voice belongs in it.
Whether you’re a funeral professional looking to expand what you offer, someone thinking carefully about your own wishes, or simply curious about where death care is heading, this webinar is for you.
