Welcome to the Crestone End-of-Life Project
The Crestone End-of-Life Project (CEOLP) is a non-denominational community-based group promoting informed end-of-life choices and supporting their fulfillment for Crestone and Saguache County residents.
About CEOLP

Were CEOLP’s service a tree, its visible portion would be our caring for the body of our beloved community members, assisting their families, filling out documents, preparing a ceremony.
Supporting these branches are the four limbs of possible end-of-life choices: burial (traditional & green) and cremation (traditional & open-air).
The trunk, out of which our limbs branch, our real strength, is our end-of-life values and attitudes. United in seeing death as a gate, a doorway, a sacred open space, we feel this transition holds great opportunity and assume death, regardless of external circumstances, to be possibility.
In this strength of clarity and respect, we work with the families, silently, if need be, always honoring their experience. Our roots rest out of sight, as does death itself. Claiming no knowledge of death and willing to assist in all religious traditions, we simply serve this mystery, feeling that what looks like an end is also a beginning, perhaps the most important time of life… its final gift.

Informational Video Series
Presented by Informed Final Choices, CEOLP’s educational outreach branch, these videos also offer suggestions for end-of-life planning including advance directives and communicating with family and loved ones.
