The Center for End of Life Transitions

The human life cycle, like all life cycles, includes a beginning and an end. Each of us will die; not one of us will be left out. By settling the matters of your world and making decisions ahead of time, you create an opportunity to enter your end of life, the moment of death and what may follow, with greater awareness and freedom.

Based in Western North Carolina, the Center for End of Life Transitions offers End of Life Educational Opportunities through workshops and retreats.

  • What we did was the difference, for my family, in incurring debt and remaining solvent, and in saying an intimate goodbye in a language we all understood, as opposed to saying goodbye in the mortuary chapel of kindly paid professionals.
