Our first video about the surge in Los Angeles, "Our Funeral Home is Overwhelmed With Bodies": youtu.be/QdpSgEQKVNE

If you want to help, and live in the Los Angeles area, we ask that you contact your local government representatives to express your displeasure at the lack of government aid for funeral homes, death care workers, and grieving families in Los Angeles.

Here are some ways you can find your local representatives' contact info:
lacity.org/government/popular-information/elected-official-offices
laalmanac.com/government/gu03.php

Press enquiries: taraatthegooddeath@gmail.com

At this time, we ask that you do *not* contact our funeral home to offer support. We appreciate your desire to help but 100% of our energy has to be focused on serving the people in our care. Thank you.

Thank you Patron deathlings, who allow us to make videos like this.
