Waxwing Journeys

End-of-Life Planning, Transition Care, and Memorial Rituals

Life and death are hard. I can help support you through them. 

There are times in all of our lives where we need a little extra support and companionship; things are constantly changing around us all the time. When those times feel a bit overwhelming, I would love to walk beside you to listen, help ease your stresses, and celebrate the beautiful things about life. 

Whether it is advance planning for your end of life, support during an illness, or celebrating your life or the life of someone you love, I am here for you. Let’s chat.

About Waxwing Journeys

Death and Transition Care for all ages, races, genders, and orientations with Erica Reid Gerdes.

My name is Erica Reid Gerdes (she/her). I grew up in Vicksburg, MS, the younger of two children to two amazing and hilarious parents, David and Patricia Reid. Dance, theatre, comedy, and music were always my career goals and passions, and I was an overachiever throughout all of my schooling. Death was always present in my life growing up, and I learned early on that it was unavoidable in life.
