Bryn (they/them) is the owner, deathwalker & death companion behind Silver Glass Deathcare. They are a queer, nonbinary human with passions for books, music, nature, nerdom & a good cup of tea. They live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with their partners and their gaggle of dogs and cats.

After their father’s unexpected death when they were 19, Bryn developed a special interest in deathcare, funeral services, and grief work. They saw a culture that doesn’t know how to handle (or talk) about death, and sometimes a deep fear of mortality. Through education, open dialogue, community outreach, and hands-on care, they hope to destigmatize end-of-life conversations, return a sense of sacredness to the dying process, and contribute to a more death-aware Wisconsin and world.

Bryn has spent 6 years studying with death educators like Erin Merelli, Kacie Gikonyo, La Mort, & the Deathwives, and numerous hours of self-study and reading on the subject of deathcare. They specialize in helping clients who are LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, non-Christian or nonreligious, pagan, and polyamorous.

Bryn’s approach to life and death is to leave the world better than they found it.
