KIM STRAVERS
Certified Death Midwife
A Steady Companion Across the Arc of Life
My work encompasses services for the dying and their loved ones through every stage of end of life, as well as for those who are simply curious about this oft-maligned subject. Some refer to those called to this work as death or end-of-life doulas, death coaches, death midwives, or other titles; I answer to all and consider myself a companion, a guide, and a keeper of death’s traditions. I offer logistical, practical, emotional, and spiritual support throughout Arizona’s greater Salt River Valley, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Tempe, Mesa, Cave Creek, Carefree, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Sun Lakes, and Sun City. Remote sessions are available for those who live outside of the Phoenix metro area or for whom in-person visits are not preferable or possible.

Funerals, Memorials & Celebrations
Though their services may look wildly, beautifully different from one another, every culture on our planet has traditions, rituals, customs, and ceremonies through which they mourn and pay tribute to their beloved dead. As a certified funeral celebrant, I can help you to create unforgettable bespoke events that elevate a life and a legacy—secular or with clergy, at a funeral home or in a private location of your choosing.
