Welcome to Embrace Death Doula Care.  My name is Crystal Akins and I am a Death Doula in Oregon. I spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically support the dying and their communities. Embrace Death Doula Care provides personalized end of life care. As a Death Doula and Spiritual Director I offer end of life planning including arranging funerals in partnership with local mortuaries, officiating memorials, bedside Death Doula care, legacy work through the arts, home memorials, grief and loss support, family reentry counseling, death education and community outreach. 

Embrace Death Doula Care offers opportunities to connect and create community around death.  We offer Death Cafes, Life Cafes, End of Life Arts Based Programs, and serve terminal houseless Veterans in our Embrace Space which is a set of  Death Doula apartments for houseless veterans. 

Please contact Crystal Akins to set up an end of life pre planning session, schedule or register for a Death Café, register for our grief and loss support group, or to learn the ways you can volunteer with Embrace Death Doula Care.
