Home Funeral Alliance wishes to extend our deepest gratitude to Isabel Hebenstreit, who has served as our intern since May. She began her internship as part of a collaboration we have with the Harvard Divinity School in Boston.
Isabel brought her strong interests in community and public service, facilitating religious and spiritual care in a professional setting, and researching death rituals and rites in the United States to us and then expanded her work into researching international practices.
Isabel's exceptional dedication, curiosity, and thoughtful research explored deathcare traditions and ceremonies across various cultures and religions around the world. She has created many invaluable deathcare guides and graphics, and additional graphics for our State Laws for Community Deathcare series, that we will be sharing with you in the coming weeks.
Thank you, Isabel, for the care, insight, and excellence you brought to these projects. Your contributions have left a lasting impact, and we are thankful for the consideration and integrity you demonstrated during your time with us.
We wish you every success in the future and know that your talent and dedication will continue to make a meaningful difference in everything you set your sights on@
