What is a Death Doula?

A death doula is a trained professional who provides holistic, non-medical support to dying individuals and their families. Unlike hospice workers who provide medical care, death doulas focus on emotional, spiritual, and practical support during the end-of-life journey.

Death doulas can work alongside hospice care, medical teams, and funeral professionals to ensure the dying person's wishes are honored and their family feels supported throughout the process.
