Welcome to Endless Eden

My name is Bethany Ward, and I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals and families through the end-of-life journey. With a background in Unitarian Universalist congregational ministry and as a Family Care Provider within the Green Burial movement, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role as a Spiritual Director, Death Midwife, Funeral Celebrant, Grief Companion, and Home Funeral Educator.  

I am proud to have received training from the renowned Donna Belk, an esteemed figure in the field of conscious death care, and Grief Expert David Kessler. Similarly, I am a former practitioner in the conservation burial movement as a Burial Steward within Foxfield Preserve. By staying at the forefront of these important discussions, I am committed to offering, and promoting, sustainable, compassionate, and meaningful end-of-life practices that honor both individuals and the environment.

With this foundation, I am actively engaged in the national conversation on conservation burial, grief literacy, funeral reform, and the burgeoning home funeral movement. Additionally, as a member of the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance, I contribute to shaping the future of end-of-life care by advocating for compassionate support and empowering individuals and families to navigate their death journeys with dignity and grace.
