Death is not something that a lot of us like to think about. But making plans about end-of-life doesn’t need to be scary. Our experts today say it could be empowering.

Today, we hear from the Connecticut Death Collective, and hear new approaches to end-of-life care, and memorialization.

Later this month, the Mattatuck Museum and Riverside Cemetery, will host the first ever CT Death and Dying Symposium. We hear more.

• Sarah Sparen: registered nurse offering death education and guidance in Waterford area
• Chris Grosso: writer, speaker, musician, and the author of four books, including "Indie Spiritualist" and "Necessary Death." He also hosts The Indie Spiritualist Podcast
• Becca Allen: a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in end-of-life planning and end of life doula
• Cheryl Guertin: vice president sexton and funeral director at Riverside Cemetery
