About This Speaker

Jeremy Allen is a grief expert, death educator, licensed funeral director, and founder of Death Ed., an education platform that helps people talk about grief, loss, and death with more honesty and care. Based in rural Alberta, Jeremy Allen has spent 20 years working beside families in some of the hardest moments of their lives. That work has taught him that grief does not need to be feared, rushed, or treated like a problem to fix.

As part owner of Gregory’s Funeral Home Inc. in Provost, Alberta, Jeremy brings a rare mix of professional knowledge and personal warmth to his work. He has sat with families in raw moments of loss, supported people as they begin to understand their grief, and seen how powerful it can be when someone feels seen rather than corrected. Through Death Ed., he helps children, adults, educators, healthcare professionals, funeral professionals, and community leaders build language around loss so they can respond with empathy instead of silence.

Jeremy’s message is rooted in a clear idea: where loss lives, grief will follow. His work helps people identify where their loss lives, acknowledge the grief connected to it, and create space for emotion without turning the conversation cold or clinical. He speaks about grief and loss awareness, leading with vulnerability, and bringing empathy into difficult professional and community settings.

As a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, Jeremy Allen gives audiences practical tools for holding grief in schools, healthcare settings, funeral homes, workplaces, and families. His sessions help people recognize the emotions and environments of grief, understand the difference between emotional investment and emotional attachment, and support others without trying to remove the pain.

Jeremy’s work through Death Ed. has reached thousands of families and professionals who want a more human way to talk about death, mourning, and care. He helps audiences leave with more confidence, more language, and a deeper ability to show up for people living with loss.
