BROOKFIELD, Wis., Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Happiness psychologist and mental wellbeing expert Katarina Blom is joining forces with the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) to bring the transformative Swedish practice of death cleaning to more Americans.

Key Points: 
  • "For many, especially older individuals, it's challenging to clean and declutter their own space because they've formed emotional attachments to physical items," said Blom.
  • "Death cleaning provides an opportunity to spend time with your aging loved ones to better understand the meaning and memories that make a personal possession important.
  • Together, you can preserve their legacy while they are alive so you can keep them close when they are gone."
  • Blom encourages consumers to connect with a local NFDA-member funeral director in their community using the Remembering A Life Find A Funeral Home search tool .
