Hi, I'm A.Therese Lynch.
a compassionate and thoughtful End-of-Life Doula, Personal Funeral Representative, and Coordinator, has had a personal encounter with the loss of a loved one at a young age. The memory of her uncle's passing and the family's struggle to make arrangements left a profound impression on her; however, this experience also motivated her to create Farewell Rites, a service that helps people entering the final stage of life and families honor their loved ones meaningfully and heartfeltly. Therese's story serves as a poignant reminder that even in the most challenging times, we can find inspiration and use it to create something positive.
Therese is committed to providing the best end-of-life education and support services. She is a member of the International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA) and the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA).
She received her End-of-Life Doula Certificate from the University of Vermont, Larner College of Medicine Professional and Continuing Education, and is a current Master of Science in Thanatology candidate from Marian University.
