Meet Jen Blalock &
Shelby Mundy

Jen and Shelby’s partnership was formed through shared commitment to compassionate deathcare. Together, they combine professional guidance, personal insight, and heartfelt presence to support individuals and families through one of life’s most sacred passages.

Alternative Deathcare

Alternative deathcare refers to evolving approaches to end-of-life care, body disposition, and memorialization that expand upon current clinical models and traditional funeral practices — emphasizing authenticity, sustainability, community participation, and personal choice.

It’s part of a growing movement to reclaim death as a natural, relational, and creative process, while honoring the skills and compassion of all who serve the dying and the bereaved.
