Montreal, Canada – July 5, 2016 /PressCable/ —

Online memorial platform and death positive community leaders, Qeepr, has announced the fifth instalment of their acclaimed #TalkDeath live web series where the public is given the chance to ask their questions to death professionals. Wake Forest School of Law professor Tanya Marsh and Director of the Home Funeral Alliance, Lee Webster will join hosts Mandy and Jeremy on July 7th, 2016 at 3:30pm EST/12:30pm PST for “Episode 5: Who Owns Your Body, Funeral Law and Rights.”

Qeepr founder, Mandy Benoualid, explains that “the mission of #TalkDeath is to promote discussion about life’s big questions on death and dying from different perspectives.” #TalkDeath hosts professionals whose approaches to death and dying come from varied backgrounds, providing the public with the opportunity to ask their questions via social media. Benoualid expresses that “the inspiration for this episode came after listening to the members of our local Death Cafe express concern over their rights after death. They wanted to know if they needed to be embalmed after death, if they could be buried in their backyards, have access to burial and cremation alternatives, have legal protections beyond a will and more. Sadly, many people today are either misinformed or unaware of their legal rights and responsibilities. This episode will shed light on a topic that has proven difficult for the public to navigate.”

The #TalkDeath web series has become a venue for death professionals and the general public to come together in conversation. #TalkDeath aims to change the reality that the public should only speak with death professionals when they are forced to do so by circumstance. Past #TalkDeath panelists include New York Times bestselling author and mortician, Caitlin Doughty, and Urban Death Project founder, Katrina Spade.

#TalkDeath “Episode 5: Who Owns Your Body, Funeral Law and Rights” with Tanya Marsh and Lee Webster can be streamed live via Google+ and YouTube on July 7th at 3:30pm EST. The public is invited to start asking their questions to the panel immediately via Twitter, Facebook or Instagram by including the hashtag ‘#TalkDeath’ in their message.
