About Us

Distant Shores Deathcare was founded by Ashley Bryan in response to the multitude of pitfalls, shortcomings, and general unpreparedness that permeates Death and Dying in American culture.

We invite you to ask questions about how Distant Shores Deathcare came to be during your free consultation! The answer may surprise you.

Suffice to say for now, though, that Distant Shores Deathcare is a premier death doula and death educator in the Carolinas. This work is at the forefront of culture, and it is thriving because people are now intuitively realizing that a “good death” is achievable. If it relates to death or dying (for humans or pets) look no further than Distant Shores Deathcare for guidance, assistance, or inspiration.

Besides personal experiences, notable Deathcare-relevant credentials include:

Professor in Religious Studies
National Home Funeral Alliance Member
National End of Life Doula Alliance Member and Proficiency Badge Earner
Association for Death Education and Counseling Member
Hospice Foundation of America Member
