The funeral and death care industry is currently faceless, monolithic, and made in the image of capitalism. It is too large to affect overall change from within. We work to find ways to move away from establishment systems, dismantle the systemic oppression in the funeral industrial complex, and ultimately return funerals and death care to our grassroots origins in community.

The funeral and death care industry is far from infallible, and often does more harm than good, even if it is not the intent of its actors.

Thus, if you feel that your loved one is not receiving adequate death or funerary care, we will advocate on your behalf to reduce harm.

Queers are often silenced or overlooked in life and death, particularly upon lines of intersection.

We seek to speak up and out for the queer experience and to create a space with that voice to gather and uplift our community.

The privileged, straight, and traditional are the center of most spaces, narratives, and perspectives.

We intentionally center Queer, 2S, Trans, Non-Binary, bisexual, asexual, lesbian, gay, and all those along such spectrums, with specific space held for intersections and those of different ability and neurodiversity.

Impact always outweighs intent. Our words and actions deserve particular care to make sure they are in alignment, knowing that sometimes they will not be.

We work to specifically take the time and put in the thought as to how we move, speak, and act. We prioritize accountability and commit to restorative justice practices to address and rectify mistakes and repair harm.

Barriers to access continues to be one of the main ways care and autonomy are inhibited for marginalized peoples and those of varying ability.

We are committed to identifying any unintentional barriers to access we might be erecting; Ensuring – among other things – that a lack of representation, voice, perspective, accommodation, or analysis is addressed.

We actively engage in the decolonization of mind, body, spirit, and community, recognizing the pervasive impact of colonization worldwide. Our stance is anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-racist, advocating for LAND BACK and Indigenous Sovereignty. We are committed to dismantling oppressive systems rooted in colonialism, ableism, and white supremacy, working towards a more just and inclusive society that rejects violence and marginalization against communities of color.

Our communities are particularly harmed by police, the prison industrial complex, and carceral systems and thought.

ACAB in all senses; from police to prisons, to agents of the government to carceral systems; all ideals of carceral logic. We envision new systems of community care and thought, emphasizing non-carceral, community-based solutions. These solutions are particularly important for those disproportionately affected by police violence, as well as for our community and society as a whole.

At our core we believe in providing safe and inclusive death care for all bodies. Our advocacy extends beyond death, fostering care and empathy within our communities throughout life. We challenge the treatment of trans individuals in the death care industry and promote community-based solutions, seeking to challenge the existence and influence of a funeral industrial complex.

Respecting personal autonomy and informed consent is crucial in death care, especially for marginalized populations. Queer individuals often experience their wishes being disregarded due to societal norms and lack of information. To address this, we prioritize explicit consent and respect for individual privacy and autonomy, particularly in areas that society tends to stigmatize, such as abortion, drug use, differing abilities, and the handling of remains or death rituals
