Karen Bussen and Elizabeth Karansky, the founders of Farewelling

Farewelling founder Karen Bussen talks to Farewelling’s own Funeral Guru, Elizabeth Meyer Karansky. Liz, the author of a heartfelt memoir about her journey titled “Good Mourning,” shares how her Upper East Side family reacted when she told them she wanted to be a funeral director, and tells the story of her father’s unique funeral/farewelling (hint: there was dancing and she might have met her husband there).  Liz tackles questions like “Is a Viking Funeral legal?” She tells us what it’s like to hang out with embalmers, and she answers Karen’s queries about what type of farewelling Liz wants for herself. To read more about Liz’s inspiring story, check out her memoir, ''Good Mourning''.Yes, Liz is a funeral director and an author. But she’s also a Thanatology Fellow, which means she’s an expert in grief studies as well. If you’d like to read some of her tips for dealing with grief, come on over to MyFarewelling.com.
