NGL sponsors 2nd Annual Before I Die New Mexico Festival
Festival encourages growing movement to foster reflection and discussion surrounding mortality
Before I Die New Mexico Festival is a unique festival consisting of six days of upbeat, informative and fun events focused on discussing death and planning ahead. National Guardian Life Insurance Company (NGL), a leader in the preneed insurance industry, is pleased to announce that it is a sponsor of the 2nd Annual Before I Die NM Festival.
The Before I Die NM Festival is taking place October 30 to November 4, 2018 in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Belen and other communities. Festival activities include Death Cafes, speakers and panel discussions with funeral directors and end-of-life experts, movies, tours of a casket building workshop, crematory and cemeteries, and a Dia de los Muertos party.
Participating in a Before I Die Festival Symposium panel discussion on Saturday, November 3 is Carl Wackerle, Vice President, Individual Life and Annuity Sales at NGL. “We believe everyone should feel comfortable talking about death. We plan and save for weddings, higher education and retirement, but planning for end-of-life is still a subject that people don’t like talking about. The Before I Die NM Festival is an opportunity to participate in engaging activities that open the door to talk about death,” said Wackerle.
“Humans have a 100 percent mortality rate, yet less than 30 percent talk about their final wishes. That’s bad news for the 70 percent of loved ones faced with making expensive decisions while grieving. The Before I Die NM Festival will help to jumpstart these important conversations,” said festival coordinator and pioneering death educator Gail Rubin, CT.
Most events are free or low-cost, happening at multiple locations. Learn more about the Before I Die NM Festival at: www.BeforeIDieNM.com.
There are still opportunities available to present or create an event for the Before I Die NM Festival. Contact Festival Coordinator Gail Rubin at 505-265-7215 or Gail@AGoodGoodbye.com for details.
