The Future of Mortality | Ashley Johnson | TEDxWestshore

Technology is breathing new life in the death care. The loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult events in one’s life. Thankfully, the innovative apps and technological advancements in death care has evolved to offer more compassionate, accessible, and even environmentally friendly measures to help simplify and destigmatize the end-of-life planning process. Ashley is an alumnus of the University of Florida and a trained end-of-life doula. Ashley currently serves on the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance's board of directors. Her death care career was inspired by growing up in a low socio-economic neighborhood that lacked advocacy on how to deal with end-of-life practices. When death happened, families were not mentally, emotionally, and financially prepared. With more than a decade in the death care industry ranging from forensic anthropology to whole-body donation, she launched Loyal Hands an end-of-life doula consulting agency. Loyal Hands provides education, services, resources, and companionship to agencies, the elderly, and even the healthy as everyone has an end-of-life journey. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
