The National Association of Certified Death Midwives (NACDM) is a community of peers who share their knowledge, expertise, and best practices in support of compassionate and family-directed end-of-life care. Certified Death Midwives provide education, facilitation, and a wide array of holistic support services to those seeking more personal, meaningful, and greener options for their end-of-life choices and rituals. Through their work, Certified Death Midwives bridge the gaps that exist between the medical profession and the funeral industry.
