Testimonials
“Erin has created a program unlike anything else. You can study a book until you know the material backwards and forwards, but Erin has added her practical experience as a doula, as an educator, as a public speaker, to make the curriculum human. And there is nothing that compares to the humanity, the community, the acceptance, and the love that you'll find in Deathschool, and from Erin Merelli.”
— Robin, DS Evolved Student“Thank you for putting your heart and energy into creating this time and space for all of us. I absolutely am so grateful for you.”
— Michelle, DS Evolved Student“I went into Deathschool Evolved not entirely sure what to expect, but it ended up being a deeply meaningful experience in my own journey with grief. Erin's knowledge and respect for the field carry through in how she presents topics. Her sessions were full of care and intention, not only with regard to the content but also for each of her participants. I am beyond grateful for the insight and perspectives this course provided. Sign up, you won't regret it!”
— Elizabeth, DS Evolved Student Deathschool, and by extention you, have changed my life. I learned so much about myself, my family, my community, and our class.”
