end of life planning and death doula care

Together we contemplate endings and create new beginnings. 

We honor the circle of life.

Death Doula Services

My name is Ali Cole and I’m a Chicago based Death Doula. My goal is to create a sacred space – a trusting and safe environment that supports connection and healing for all members of your support network while we explore and plan your end of life decisions.

Finale is my practice that includes both end-of-life planning and support through a Sacred Passage Vigil - the fulfillment of your final wishes and ever present care during your final days of life.

End of Life Planning

As a graduate of the Conscious Dying Institute, I am a certified Sacred Passage Coach and Death Doula who offers death planning and support for individuals who are nearing their final days. In death, we hold true the magic and illumination of life.

Our Sacred Passage Coaching session will capture and implement an End of Life Plan that addresses the physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and practical elements of your life. This incudes all life and death care decisions. These can be difficult and scary conversations. We will approach all topics gently, with deep respect and, hopefully, some laughter as we reflect on all the cycles of your life.

Please send me a note. I would love to hear your story and share more information about finale.
