Certified death doula Beth Montgomery will host Death, Dying & Grief: An Honest Conversation from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 18, 2026, at the Englewood Hershey, in Hummelstown. Now in its third year, the free community gathering addresses one of life’s most avoided topics in an open, approachable way.

“Putting this event in a concert venue, offering free lunch, featuring a tattoo artist, local vendors and expert speakers makes space for something rare—real conversations about death that don’t feel heavy or clinical. We make it human, heartfelt and even a little fun,” says Montgomery, known as Death Doula Beth, the name of her Central Pennsylvania-based end-of-life support and education organization. 

Death, Dying & Grief offers a welcoming environment for individuals and families to explore end-of-life planning, grief support, legacy work and more. Whether navigating a recent loss, planning ahead or simply exploring, attendees can connect with trusted resources and compassionate guidance.

“It’s a chance to engage with a like-minded community; access local end-of-life resources; and leave feeling more grounded, prepared and inspired,” adds Montgomery.

Through community events, grief support and practical planning tools, Montgomery’s mission is to normalize conversations around death, dying and grief—making them more human, more honest and far less isolating.
