PRICING
I believe in price transparency when it comes to deathwork. End of life is a time when expenses mount for all income brackets—and they accumulate in lockstep with evolving grief and diminishing capacity. As we move farther along death’s spectrum, we can find ourselves with less access to the rational, organized, practical thinking that we would typically use to guide us in selecting the support we wish to receive. Grief and trauma can dramatically lessen our ability to conduct business as usual, taking our logical selves offline as we focus our energy on our emotional and spiritual bodies. We often simply lack the time and composure needed to track down, record, and compare rates through multiple phone calls and emails.
Honoring this, I present my pricing structure here for greater ease in gathering the information you need to make the choices that work best for you. I do not offer a sliding scale, as I feel that introduces a burden of ascertaining financial need that can be uncomfortable for all involved. Instead, my rates allow me to both continue to offer my services as a volunteer with several hospice programs and community groups as well as to take on one to two pro bono clients per year in my private practice.
Those interested in financial offset may wish to apply to The Welcome Wellspring Support Fund, a local nonprofit expanding access to mental and physical care, with whom Night Rose Deathcare is a Wellness Partner.
I am also open to discussions around barter and payment plans. Please feel encouraged to open a conversation no matter your means.
*Rates are effective as of August 2026.
Death Midwifery Services
Services are offered on either a prepayment or a at-time-of-service basis. This allows for spaciousness and flexibility in the work, keeps costs known, and promotes regular check-ins that help us stay in right relationship. The quality of my support, regardless of its shape or focus, is informed and influenced equally by the entirety of my education and experience.
À LA CARTE
For those who prefer to pay as they go…
In-person support: $125 per hour
Virtual & phone support: $100 per hour
Special-topics research & resourcing: $75 per hour
PACKAGES
For those who prefer a one-time payment…
Both bundles of prepaid support time and bespoke flat-rate packages are available upon request to meet you where you are.
Transportation costs: Additional fees may be incurred for travel to service addresses greater than 10 miles from ZIP code 85257 and may be discussed at time of engagement.
Celebrant Services
Full-service packages containing the elements described on the Ceremonies page are typically set at a flat rate, plus reimbursement for travel costs and for any items purchased in support of the service, such as keepsakes. Services that exceed two hours in active duration or are delayed by more than 20 minutes, require more than one location (a celebration of life at home followed by interment of ashes at a columbarium, for example), or are otherwise unusually complex will incur additional costs that may be negotiated on an individual basis.
Standard flat rate:
$600 (50% deposit paid in advance, 50% billed at completion of service)
Transportation fees:
Round-trip travel up to 74 miles is reimbursed from ZIP code 85257 according to the current IRS rate ($0.725/mile in 2026). Additionally, a flat $10 fuel surcharge will apply to round-trip distances greater than 20 miles but fewer than 75 miles. Round-trip distances greater than 75 miles will be billed at $1/mile.
Deathwork Consulting & Mentorship
I am honored to accept the invitation to share my perspectives and lived experience with others called to explore this work.
One-time consultations: $100/hour (30-minute minimum)
Sustained mentorship: I honor each deathworker’s unique path, vision, and gifts. We will begin with a conversation to assess your interests, then work collaboratively to design the nature, duration, and goals of our relationship. Compensation may come in the form of financial exchange, barter, or reciprocal learning and will be decided together before we take our first step forward together.
