Chicago End-of-Life Expo

Join area death workers for the inaugural Chicago End-of-Life Expo on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The Expo will bring grief and loss practitioners, vendors, educational information, interactive art projects, and comedy under one roof to help demystify death and support attendees with end-of-life planning.

Co-producing the Chicago End-of-Life Expo are Erica Reid Gerdes (she/her) of Waxwing Journeys, Becky Robison (she/her) of the website and book My Parents are Dead: What Now? and Emmy-nominated and WGA award winning comedy writer Alison Zeidman (she/her). Alison will be presenting her hour-long-stand up show/death planning extravaganza, Ready to Die? Between the three producers, they have zero surviving parents. They want to help ease the stress of end-of-life planning so you and your loved ones can focus on what really matters in your final moments: love, grief, and tending to the heart.
