This millennial mortician is closing the casket on the traditional funeral industry.

The practical application of The Order’s principles is Doughty’s funeral home in Los Angeles, aptly named ““We want to provide interactive experiences for grieving families to empower them,” said Doughty. Relatives and friends are invited to be as much a part of the death care process as they wish—they can prepare their loved one’s makeup, they can dress them, they can even push the deceased into the cremation machine.

Clarity provides alternatives to traditional caskets as part of the green funeral movement, which aims to make death low-impact on the environment. Rather than requiring big, heavy, expensive caskets, green funerals utilize decomposable wicker caskets. They also encourage natural burials, in which with the bodies are buried in simple, biodegradable shrouds without embalming chemicals.

As a part of the revolution, Doughty is answering fascinating questions from the generation in her new Q & A book,"." Doughty doesn’t have children herself, but she noticed whole families attending her speaking events. She wanted to make sure that adults don’t transfer their own fears to their children. “Lots of adults never move past their 5-year-old death education,” Doughty said. She wanted to give kids the freedom to ask anything.

Doughty hopes that by understanding death, we’ll find it a little less daunting. Funerals are one of the few times we unplug and attempt to be our most present selves, so we should use that time to the fullest. “Funerals are a gift to the living,” Doughty said.
