About this Event

You may be familiar with written obituaries, but what is a visual obituary? Led by death literacy advocate Dr. Jill Greenbaum, we will explore how photographs, papers, fabrics, and cherished objects can be brought together to tell compelling narratives of our lives. Dr. Greenbaum will expertly guide us in crafting these vibrant tributes, exploring diverse design techniques and sharing personal insights. This session isn't just about crafting; it's an opportunity to celebrate the lives we’ve lost and gain a deeper understanding of their impacts. 

Bring along materials that remind you of a lost loved one and participate in this creative and life-affirming process. Personal items you can bring include photos, mementos, copies of birth certificates, diplomas, recipes, writings, etc. Some basic crafting items will be provided on a first-come first serve-basis, including paper, poster board, scissors, glue, markers, etc. 

Green-Wood members can enter the member password to buy tickets to programs before the general public. Tickets to this event for nonmembers will go on sale shortly. .

Free. Registration required. Please consider a $10 to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer free and low-cost programs throughout the year.
