Panelists will share insights into their responsibilities, the skills their roles require, and what it means to work in a space that is both an active business and sacred ground.  A Day in the Life brings together industry professionals for lively conversations about the many facets of work in the deathcare field.   Price: Free Register In-Person Event (see details below) Know Before You Go: Where To Go: This program will take place at The Green-House (750 Fifth Avenue), across the street from the Main Entrance of Green-Wood (500 25th Street).  Accessibility & Safety: The Green-House is an ADA compliant building; however, extra accommodations for visitors using wheelchairs or other mobility aids are encouraged, before reserving tickets. To contact our staff with any questions regarding accommodations and accessibility, call 718-210-3080, ext. 1, or email events@green-wood.com.  Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
