Today’s guest, Greg Barnsdale, is a Death Doula, speaker, Certified Financial Planner, Certified Executor, and unconventional undertaker. He is also the author of “Do Not Ignore Your Mortality: Practical Advice from a Funeral & Financial Insider.”
In this interview, Greg shares his motivation behind the book—to help people navigate essential end-of-life topics. He covers the importance of conversations about end-of-life care planning, appointing a Power of Attorney for both medical and financial matters, preparing wills, establishing medical directives, and planning funeral or memorial preferences, including burial choices.
Our conversation emphasized the importance of sharing your wishes in advance. Greg highlights how such planning can ease the burden on loved ones, reducing stress and decision-making pressures during difficult times. Betsy shared her own experiences with pre-planning her husband Matt’s funeral, underscoring the value of preparing for the end of life just as we do for other major life events.
Greg also discussed his journey, including a health crisis involving a non-cancerous brain tumor that confronted him with his mortality. Additionally, we explored the “death positive movement,” which encourages open, non-taboo conversations about death, dying, and grief.
As Betsy observed, discussing these matters may feel uncomfortable, but having these conversations repeatedly can help make them feel more natural. For more insights, Betsy highly recommends visiting Greg’s website, which offers free resources and more details about his work. Do Not Ignore Your Mortality is available for purchase on the website in audiobook and e-book formats.
